PDQ Receives "Champion Status" from EPA Program

Through the Safer Detergents Stewardship Initiative (SDSI), EPA's Design for the Environment (DfE) Program recognizes environmental leaders who voluntarily commit to the use of safer surfactants. Safer surfactants are surfactants that break down quickly to non-polluting compounds and help protect aquatic life in both fresh and salt water. Nonylphenol ethoxylates, commonly referred to as NPEs, are an example of a surfactant class that does not meet the definition of a safer surfactant.

PDQ joins a select group of manufacturers that have met the challenges of the SDSI program. To acheive this honor, formulators had to:

Demonstrate the use of only safer surfactants in the formulating process

Document a strategy for ensuring that only safer surfactants are used in the formulating process
