Notable Eco Activity
Ecover marketed a phosphate-free washing powder well before phosphates were branded as a problem and today, produces a line of eco-friendly products for the home, car and boat care, and handwashing products.
Ecover's website highlights its progressive environmental policy as it is applied to all of its business operations, from selecting raw materials, through production methods, to full decomposition of the end products. It is also an integral part of the company’s business operations. Its website states, "Acting in the spirit of the externally ISO 14001 standard, we have extended our environmental policy to all departments of the company, from production to marketing. One of the most striking results is the world’s first ecological factory." (ISO Management Standards can be found here.)

Hmmm..Interesting. I've never heard of this company before. Anyway I just noticed that this site appears to have some kind of code errors at the top of the page. I wonder if other readers are getting similar problem when browsing the site? I'm using a different browser than most people so I don't know if that's causing the problem.
