In a recent article, 5th Estate Magazine posed the question - Why build a green star building and then fill it with hazardous & polluting cleaning chemicals?

Millions of litres of hazardous chemicals are used in cleaning, infection control and food preparation every day across Australia causing pollution, single use plastic waste and increasing workplace risks.

In the article 5th Estate noted that ‘chemical pollution has breached one of the 9 planetary boundaries with over 350,000 synthetic chemicals on the planet, 12,000 of which are “forever chemicals” and do not break down in the environment.’

Thankfully an alternative is available that not only is better for people and our planet but can help property owners earn Green Star innovation points and contribute to WELL Building criteria for indoor environments.

eWater is a circular solution, generated using three naturally occurring ingredients – water, salt and electricity producing sustainable cleaning, sanitising and disinfectant solutions. Best of all they are accredited by HACCP, Australian Organics and the TGA.

eWater has replaced more than 450 million litres of harmful chemicals, avoiding the need for 100 million single-use plastics for clients including Deloitte, Macquarie, Commonwealth Bank, Canva, Qantas, ICC, Merivale and David Jones.
