Environmental Facts

• 
  Completely Environmentally Friendly
  
  In addition to being clean and safe, it is also important to remember that dry ice is obtained as a byproduct of other industrial processes - i.e. it is made from reclaimed CO2. It does not produce CO2 or add CO2 to the atmosphere and therefore does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.

• • Dry ice blasting is truly, and completely, environmentally friendly!

• • Dry Ice Blasting is Clean and Safe

• • Dry ice blasting has been approved by the EPA, FDA, and USDA as an acceptable cleaning method

• • Dry ice blasting is safe to use with food processing equipment

• • Dry ice blasting does not release harmful gases into the atmosphere

• • Dry ice blasting does not generate secondary waste

• • Dry ice blasting is safe and non-toxic (once particles impact the surface they dissipate into the atmosphere)

• • Dry ice blasting reduces or eliminates employee exposure to (and corporate liability from) the use of dangerous chemical cleaning agents

Other cleaning methods can be toxic

• • Sand, soda, or water blasting can leave toxic secondary waste to be cleaned up in addition to the toxic substrate

• • Sand, soda, or water blasting can create downstream contamination that effects surrounding installations

• • Soda blasting can kill surrounding vegetation

• • Chemical and solvent cleaning methods are toxic, which creates toxic waste to be disposed of

• • Workers are exposed to potentially harmful substances through the use of chemicals and solvents
