Long thought to be a threat to the environment, aerosol products can actually be beneficial.

• Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Aerosol product containers are fully recyclable.

• Fresher Air. Aerosol-delivered disinfectants reduce the presence of germs on surfaces and unpleasant odors in the air.

• Lowered Emissions. Automotive maintenance aerosol products are used to clean brake systems, lowering emissions.

• Cleaner Water. New designs in the aerosol delivery of pesticides and fertilizers originally developed for use at vineyards in California make it possible to apply the insecticide directly to the plants, with little or no toxic chemicals settling onto the ground, preserving the purity of the groundwater.
