TurtleWax Professional will continue to strive to exceed environmental initiatives and continue to make the highest quality products for the customer and the environment. Learn more about the significant changes Turtle Wax Professional has made this year to assist in lowering their environmental impact and what we can expect to see in the near future.

For a long time Canada has held a prestigious identifier as a world leader in "Green" and environmental issues. TurtleWax has long since strived to maintain the environmental standards lain out by the Canadian ECO-Logo Environmental Choice Program, for its professional line of products. The program was founded in 1988 and soon after reached across North America.

TurtleWax Professional has made significant changes this year to assist in lowering TurtleWax Environmental impact:

We have created a smaller label for the flex pack - This label is 33% smaller over all and uses less color. This means less paper, less ink, and less impact on the environment.

The flex pack has now changed to Craft Box (Brown Cardboard) - This reduces the amount of harmful chemicals that are used during the
bleaching process to turn the cardboard white.

The professional group is currently redesigning the sales catalogue. The new catalogue will have fewer pages and photography. This will reduce the amount of paper and ink used when printing. Fewer pages also means a reduction in catalogue weight, making
it more efficient to ship, thus reducing emissions for freight.

The ICE Instant Shine product passed the ECO-Logo certification - Through biodegradation tests on ICE Instant Shine, results showed evidence of "Ultimate Biodegradability," more than 78% biodegradation in 28 days. That is an excellent display of Turtle Wax's commitment to the environment.

At TurtleWax Professional, we are always looking into future opportunities. Like the introduction of a line of products for the carwash
reclaim industry that destroys bacterial growth in a carwash pit, instead of just masking the smell. The line would contain an advanced biological additive that would be targeted at the destruction of certain types of bacterial growth. The benefit of this type of product is a huge reduction in waste water at car washes.

This year, TurtleWax has made an alliance with one of Canada's top ecofriendly professional chemical manufacturers. We are pleased to
announce that as a result in alliance, TurtleWax introduced three new Touch-Free Pre-Soaks, all of which exceed the ECO-Logo choice program standards.

TurtleWax Professional will continue to strive to exceed environmental initiatives and continue to make the highest quality products for the
customer and the environment.
