Go green on weed control

Consumers are preferencing ‘green’, ‘eco’ and organic and It’s no longer acceptable for much of the community to see chemicals being sprayed for weed control.

FACT  The public is concerned about safety
Application of chemical weed killers, according to label, requires restriction of access to treated areas for a number of hours. Smelling the fumes of herbicides = exposure to toxins. Failure to restrict access can expose the public to ‘probable carcinogens’ and can lead to potential litigation.

FACT  Weedkillers threaten habitat, ecosystem & pet health
Most commonly used weed killers have the potential to contaminate habitats of sensitive populations of endangered species such as frogs, bee’s and butterfly’s which are essential to healthy ecosystems.

FACT  Glyphosate negatively impacts soil biology
The most commonly used weed killers are Glyphosate based. Glyphosate is a patented anti-biotic and chelator which has been shown to kill soil microbes, bind nutrients and favour pathogens.

FACT  Stormwater becomes contaminated with herbicides applied to landscapes.
Chemical weed killers translocate easily from paved surfaces, through soil profiles and contaminate ground waters, streams, creeks and estuaries. Contamination of water can be a pollution event under state and federal law.

These problems have created the next great opportunity for differentiating your business and standing out from the crowd.

Residential Consumers are favouring ‘eco’, organic and bee, child and pet-friendly products.

Commercial clients want Eco
Companies, councils and schools report to their stakeholders on their eco-initiatives. You can assist them to achieve their eco-outcomes. Offer organic Satusteam weed control from Weedtechnics.
