ainesosat

läpinäkyvyys

uskomme aitouteen ja haluamme antaa ihmisille parhaat mahdolliset tiedot kulutuspäätösten tekemiseksi. siksi luettelemme tuotteidemme kaikki ainesosat ja kerromme niiden valmistusprosesseista. kerromme myös avoimesti methodin arvoista ja toimintatavoista.

materiaalien arviointi

jokaisen methodin tuotteissa käytetyn raaka-aineen arvioi perusteellisesti riippumaton ympäristötutkimuslaitos, MBDC. tarkan arviointiprosessin ansiosta voimme olla täysin varmoja, että kaikki method-tuotteet ovat turvallisia ihmisille ja ympäristölle.

raaka-aineet

meille ei riitä pelkkä komea ulkonäkö. arvostamme myös sisäistä kauneutta. lue lisää siitä, mitä methodin pullot sisältävät.

tuotteiden koostumus

noudatamme varovaisuusperiaatetta: jos on pienikin mahdollisuus, ettei jokin ainesosa ole turvallinen, emme käytä sitä. piste.

tuoksut

upeat, miellyttävät tuoksut ovat ylpeydenaiheemme. ne sopivat herkkänenäisillekin.

hyväksi ihmiselle, hyväksi ympäristölle

maailmassa, jossa puhdistusaineet tuoksuvat parhaimmillaan mitäänsanomattomilta ja pahimmillaan kuvottavilta, meille on kunnia-asia valmistaa hyväntuoksuisia tuotteita. satsaamme paljon sellaisten tuoksujen kehittämiseen, jotka eivät vaaranna ihmisten sen enempää kuin ympäristönkään hyvinvointia.

likaisten tuoksuaineiden luettelo

pidämme yllä luetteloa haitallisista ainesosista, joita käytetään yleisesti perinteisissä hajusteissa. näihin kuuluvat esimerkiksi ftalaatit. luettelon aineita ei ikinä käytetä methodin tuoksuissa.

materiaalien turvallisuusarviointi

kaikki methodin tuoksuissa käytetyt ainesosat käyvät läpi perusteellisen, mm. toksikologisen arvioinnin.

lisäksi kaikki valmiit tuotteemme testataan iho-oireiden ja allergioiden varalta.

väriaineet

eloisat värit tekevät siivouksesta hauskempaa. käyttämämme väriaineet ovat turvallisia ihmisille ja ympäristölle.

eloisat värit

eloisat värit ovat yksi designimme kivijaloista. kestävän kulutuksen tulee olla kaunista, eläväistä ja houkuttelevaa, joten suunnittelemme tuotteemme sellaisiksi. käytämme turvallisia, ympäristöystävällisiä väriaineita, jotka tehoavat pieninäkin pitoisuuksina, ovat myrkyttömiä eivätkä kuormita ympäristöä.

vastuulliset väriaineet

käytämme vain väriaineita, jotka ovat turvallisia ihmisille ja ympäristölle. osa valmistetaan luonnonmateriaaleista, mutta tehokkaimmista suurin osa on synteettisiä. kummassakin tapauksessa suoritamme ainesosille yksityiskohtaiset terveys- ja ympäristöarvioinnit tiiviissä yhteistyössä toimittajiemme kanssa.

säilöntäaineet

tehokkaita, turvallisia, biohajoavia. käytämme säilöntäaineita, jotta saisit aina parhaan siivoustuloksen.

tehokasta

methodin puhdistusaineet on tehty pääosin luonnonperäisistä raaka-aineista. tehokkaat säilöntäaineet estävät niitä pilaantumasta ja säilyttävät niiden puhdistustehon sekä turvallisuuden pitkiä aikoja. valitsemalla tehokkaita säilöntäaineita voimme säilyttää niiden pitoisuuden minimissä (useimmissa tuotteissamme alle 0,1 %).

perusteellinen arviointi

kaikki method-tuotteissa käytetyt säilöntäaineet ovat käyneet läpi McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC) -tutkimusyhtiön perusteellisen arvioinnin, jotta tiedämme täsmälleen niiden vaikutuksen ihmisten ja ympäristön hyvinvointiin. MBDC varmistaa, että tuotteemme ovat täysin myrkyttömiä ja biohajoavia.
