Ecosafe wastewater: why are the products you use so important?
From the beginning, as a responsible business, our endeavour has always been to protect our environment by providing an on-site sewage processing facility that returns to ground the cleanest treated waste matter possible, thus not upsetting the earth’s delicate ecosystem.
The use of incorrect cleaning products can affect the sewage treatment process and, ultimately, how the environment will react to it in the long term.
