BioZet Attack and the Environment

When the phosphates from detergent wastewater, other household products, and human and industrial wastes are introduced to waterways, it can have harmful effects. These chemicals contribute to excessive algae growth which can lead to a breakdown in the aquatic eco system. This is why an eco responsible laundry detergent plays an essential role in a greener, cleaner future.


How is BioZet Attack environmentally aware?

All BioZet washing powder products contain a low level of sodium - an element which can be detrimental to plant physiology (affecting osmotic pressure in plant cells and leading to loss of soil structure). Low levels of sodium are particularly important when wastewater is to be discharged to vegetation or soil absorption areas¹.

As BioZet is low in sodium it is suitable for use in grey water recycling*. As a first step, the water from a BioZet fuelled rinse cycle can be manually bucketed onto domestic lawns and gardens making it easier, faster and cheaper to conserve water because every drop counts².

To re-use the household's grey water to the full extent allowed by law, a GTS (grey water treatment system) provides an effective way of recycling water from bathrooms and laundries. Green laundry detergents in conjunction with water saving washing machines, is the best way to reduce the eco footprint of your laundry. It's the next step towards reduction of household water consumption rates and, ultimately, water conservation. Once a GTS has been installed, a household can use their treated grey water in the garden, toilet and even in the washing machine - minimising the waste of high quality, drinkable water on unnecessary household tasks in a large extent*. Grey water domestic use is an important step forward
in the sustainability of our water environment.
