• Dry Ice blast cleaning is truly and completely environment friendly apart from being clean and safe.
• Dry ice blast cleaning has been officially accepted as a environmentally safe & effective cleaning procedure by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), FDA (Food and Drug Administration), and USDA (United States Department of Agriculture).
• Dry ice blast cleaning is the only cleaning technique that is safe to use with food processing equipment i.e. 100% risk-free.
• Dry ice blast cleaning does not release any harmful gases into the atmosphere.
• Dry ice blast cleaning does not generate any secondary waste.
• Dry ice blast cleaning is safe and non-toxic (once pellets impact the surface they dissipate into the atmosphere).

 
 

• Dry ice blast cleaning reduces or eliminates employee exposure to (and corporate liability from) the use of dangerous chemical cleaning agents.
• Dry ice (Solid CO2) pellets are a recycled by-product. They do not create or contribute CO2 and therefore do not add to the greenhouse effect.

Environmental Facts about Traditional Blast Cleaning Methods

• Sand, soda, solvent, or water blasting can leave toxic secondary waste to be cleaned up in addition to the toxic contaminants.
• Sand, soda, solvent, or water blasting can create downstream contamination that effects surrounding installations.
• Soda and solvent blasting can kill surrounding vegetation.
• Chemical and solvent cleaning methods are toxic, which creates toxic waste to be disposed off appropriately.
• Workers are exposed to potentially harmful substances through the use of chemicals and solvents.

Go Green with Dry Ice Blast Cleaning

Dry ice cleaning is a "green" process using small solid pellets of recycled carbon dioxide to clean a surface. The pellets sublimate (turning from solid directly to gas) during the cleaning process. The carbon dioxide gas is absorbed by trees and plants and converted into carbon (plant growth) and oxygen (for us to breathe), thus recycling the CO2. So dry ice blasting is really "green" recycling at its best.


Dry ice blasting does not contribute to greenhouse gasses. No hazardous wastes are produced. The work process is safe and non-toxic. No ozone-depleting chemicals are used. The factory work environment is safer, because no Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) exposure occurs. Dry ice blasting is truly "green".
Dry ice cleaning is so "green" that it is approved by government agencies such as the FDA, EPA, and USDA. Your plant operations can "go green" with dry ice cleaning.
