Concentrated ecological washing powder for washing machine

Green&Cleen No need for fabric softeners or water softening Eliminates smells and 100% hygienic through the release of active oxygen Without optical brighteners, which hide stains and can cause allergies Oxygen-based brightener Respects Ecolabel norms, therefore use of Allergen-free perfume Respects delicate fabrics In-depth cleaning and no residues left Absence of silicon-based antifoams For white and colour clothes 2

EU Ecolabel certificate The European ecological quality mark Ecolabel rewards products which respect rigorous ecological performance criteria established by the European Union. EU ECOLABEL CRITERIA (L. 111/40 30/04/2011) Eco. Bianco obtained 8 points, the absolutely maximum. This certificate is the recognition of excellence, which is due to the low impact on the environment: • Reduction of energy consumption • Biodegradability • Control of noxious gas discharge • Responsible use of resources 3

Down with alergies! WITHOUT OPTICAL BRIGHTENERS, WHICH HIDE STAINS AND CAN CAUSE ALLERGIES The composition of Eco. Bianco has been conceived to reduce the risk of allergies, since it does not include any colouring or optical brightener, conforming to the strict European Ecolabel norm. Eco. Bianco has a very low nickel concentration (lower than 0. 01 ppm, or 0. 000001%, that is 100 times under the tolerance limit recommended to allergic subjects). The concentration under which, according to scientific literature data, nickel contact allergies do not manifest is equal to 0. 0001%, or 1 ppm. 4

Cleanliness and high quality Eliminating smells and hygienizing through the release of active oxygen. 5

No animal ingredients Without substances of animal origin. Not tested on animals. 6

Cleans efficiently at 20°C Softener is no longer necessary The deterging power is already performing at just 20°C. This means reducing significantly energetic consumption. During the wash with Eco. Bianco, laundry doesn’t need softener, hygienizer or double rinsing. This diminishes impact on the environment, energy consumption and the risk of developing dermatitis caused by contact by exposure to aggressive substances. 7

Points to be considered by consumers 1. 2 kg Packaging 50 -60 washes with laundry normal soiling and medium water hardness, 60°C-90°C 30 -40 washes with laundry normal soiling and medium water hardness, 30°C-40°C 20 washes with laundry normal soiling and medium water hardness, at just 20°C 8

Ingredients 15 -30% Anionic surfactants (surfactants are base ingredients in the detergent, they have a key task in removing dirt) Coconut oil and other vegetal oils based vegetal soaps (decrease foam as well) Sodium percarbonate (it is an excellent oxygen-based brightener, active oxygen hygienizer, which decomposes in non-polluting substances which are normally present in nature) Sodium carbonate (also known as laundry soda – not to be confused with caustic soda – hygienizes and fights lime scale, increasing washing power) Sodium sulphate (anti-thickening, it prevents the detergent from hardening by solidifying). 9

Ingredients 5 -15% Sodium silicate (it fights water hardness, as alkalizing neutralises acids, the capacity of silicates to emulsify and saponify fat acids is much appreciated in the preparation of detergents. Silicates are more efficient emulsifiers than alkali hydroxides such as caustic soda. In presence of anion silicates oils and fats are split in small parts, thus favoring saponification. Thus formed soluble soaps contribute to ameliorate the deterging action) 10

Ingredients <5% Non-ionic surfactants (raise the solubility in water, low foaming properties) and anionic surfactants Zeolite (substance present in nature, high water softening capacity, strengthening the washing power of surfactants and improving the dirt removal process) TAED (Tetraacetylendiamine, it facilitates the activation of the oxygen present in sodium percarbonate, and is biodegradable) Carboxymethyl cellulose (completely natural rice amid, anti-redeposition agent reduces the redeposition of dirt and of the detergent itself on the garments, softener) Policarboxilates and phosphonates (they help dirt removal and prevent dirt from redepositing on laundry) Enzymes (they break stubborn dirt into small particles, thus facilitating its removal) Allergen-free perfume (conforming to the strict Ecolabel norms) 11
