The Urgent Need to Transition from Metered Aerosols to Sustainable Air Renewal Systems

In today’s environmentally conscious world, companies face increasing

pressure to adopt sustainable practices. One often overlooked area

where businesses can make a significant impact is in their choice of

air renewal systems. Traditional metered aerosols, while popular, pose

various health and environmental risks that cannot be ignored. This

whitepaper aims to shed light on the dangers of metered aerosols

and advocate for a shift towards safer, eco-friendly alternatives

like Dustbane’s Ourfresh 2.0. By making this transition, companies

can protect their employees’ health, enhance their environmental

stewardship, and improve their reputation.

Metered Aerosols Have Had Their Time!

Consumers are increasingly aware of the threats that products pose

to our planet and future resources. Given this awareness, why would

companies continue to choose products laden with health hazard

warnings? Metered aerosols not only present significant health

risks to users but also have serious environmental impacts. Making

sustainable choices today is essential for ensuring future generations

can enjoy the wonders of nature. Here are some of the most common

hazards found in metered aerosols:

Health Hazards

? Harmful if Inhaled: The chemicals used in metered aerosols can

be detrimental to respiratory health, leading to chronic issues for

employees exposed over long periods.

? Causes Serious Eye Irritation: Direct contact or even prolonged

exposure to aerosol particles can cause severe eye irritation and

discomfort.

? May Cause Drowsiness or Dizziness: Many aerosols contain

solvents and other chemicals that can cause dizziness or

drowsiness, impairing workplace safety and productivity.

Environmental Concerns

? Gas Under Pressure: Aerosols contain pressurized gas, which

poses a risk of explosion if not stored or disposed of properly.

? Extremely Flammable: The flammable nature of these products

increases the risk of fire, especially in environments with high

temperatures or open flames.

Company Image and Reputation

? Negative Environmental Impact: The use of harmful chemicals

and non-recyclable components can damage a company’s

reputation in an increasingly eco-conscious market.

? Potential Regulatory Issues: Stricter regulations on volatile

organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous chemicals mean

that companies using traditional aerosols risk non-compliance,

leading to fines and legal issues.

Benefits of Switching to Eco-Friendly Alternatives

Switching to eco-friendly air renewal systems is not just a matter of

compliance; it is a commitment to health, sustainability, and corporate

responsibility. Companies that choose environmentally conscious

products can protect their employees and customers from harmful

chemicals while also reducing their environmental footprint. Here are

some key benefits of making the switch to eco-friendly alternatives:

Health and Safety

? No Harmful Chemicals: Eco-friendly products like Dustbane’s

Ourfresh 2.0 eliminate the use of toxic chemicals, significantly

reducing health risks.

? Gentle on Your Senses: These alternatives use natural oils and

non-toxic ingredients, ensuring a safer and more pleasant

environment for employees and customers.

Environmental Benefits

? 100% Recyclable Materials: Products such as Ourfresh 2.0 refills are

made with recyclable materials, reducing waste and supporting

a circular economy.

? VOC Compliance: Eco-friendly air renewal systems comply with

stringent VOC regulations, helping companies avoid legal issues

and reduce their carbon footprint.

Enhanced Performance and Convenience

smart chip in Ourfresh 2.0 ensure a steady and reliable fragrance

release, avoiding the inconsistent and often overpowering bursts

typical of traditional aerosols.

? No Residue: The dry fragrance technology used in these systems

prevents the sticky residue often left by liquid-based aerosols,

maintaining a clean and professional environment.

companies can showcase their commitment to sustainability,

enhancing their brand image and appeal to environmentally

conscious consumers.
