• The Green Movement
• Governments and private companies are buying
  green because it results in a number of benefits
  -not just because they think it's the right thing
  to do . . .

• . . . They are finding that Green Procurement
  policies reduce overall costs, offer significant
  opportunity to use materials, resources and
  energy more effectively, and improve employee
  health . . .

• Not fee-based or corporate-sponsored
• Most stringent criteria for product approval (27
  categories)
• Evaluate every raw material
• Expert scientists spot negative synergies between
  raw materials
• Product performance review
• Product literature review
• Inclusion of proportioning dispensing system
• Commitment to end-user education

16

• 4 main user benefits of using Momars Greenaction
  Products
• Environmental Protection
• Worker/Consumer Safety
• Resource Conservation
• Consumer Education

17

• Environmental Protection
• Formulated with the environment and human health
  strongly in mind
• Utilize ingredients with more positive attributes
  than those in conventional cleaning products
• biodegradable surfactants with byproducts that
  are less toxic than the parent compound
• sequestrants and builders that are not
  environmentally persistent and do not contribute
  to oxygen-depletion in fresh water bodies
• solvents that are not hazardous air pollutants
  and pose no threat to the Earths ozone layer
• other components with a more positive
  environmental profile

18

• Worker / Consumer Safety
• Formulated to help ensure a healthier, safer
  workplace
• Users of these products benefit from ingredients
  that include no chlorine, ammonium, caustics, or
  any volatile solvents that pose serious hazards
• Mild pH, low volatility, and non-flammable
• Safety benefits are amplified for janitors,
  maintenance staff, housekeepers, and others who
  must use cleaning chemicals in confined spaces on
  a daily basis
• Safer product health profiles especially benefit
  children, who spend a large part of their day in
  indoor environments and can be particularly
  sensitive to the chemicals in cleaning products

19

• Resource Conservation
• Mild pH, no chlorine bleach, no harsh solvents,
  etc. means significant reduction in wear and tear
  on floors, tables, desks, counters, fabrics, and
  other surfaces that products come in contact with
  during routine cleaning.

Less wear tear Extended usable life
Conservation

• Customer Education
• We provide our customers with information on
  environmental and worker-safety matters as well
  as proper product usage.
• Monthly newsletters

  improved environmental and health
  characteristics.
