“Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons and daughters of the earth. We did not weave the web of life, we are merely strands in it. Whatever we do to the web we do to ourselves.”
Chief Seattle
We, at ecoACTIV, believe that preserving nature is essential to our survival. Past and current generations have either been ignorant, helpless or determined to profit from earth’s resources to the detriment of the quality of life we and future generations will enjoy.
Human waste, industrial effluent and mining activities pollute our rivers, dams and seas. Our natural forests are decimated and land impacted by industrial activities, is made useless for nourishing life. Landfills of waste.
The tide is starting to turn. Technology has been and is being developed to deal with the environmental challenges facing humankind. Is it too late? Only time will tell.
In the meantime, ecoACTIV joins the ranks of those making a difference to the quality of life our children’s children will enjoy.

We are realistic enough to know that companies need to make a profit to survive and keep people in jobs.
So, while nurturing the environment, our eco-friendly products do exactly that - save you and your company both time and money.
How, you may ask?
Imagine, as management or as a staff member in a company, through using our biodegradable and eco-friendly products:
- You spend less time cleaning oil and grease from your equipment with effective cleaning products, thereby being able to redirect labour elsewhere where needed
- Expensive removal and safety issues related to drains clogging, discharge of oil and grease through drains, removal of grease and fats to a safe environment are eliminated by the products doing that work for you in situ so that minimal effort is required to deal with the aforementioned.
- Less time and labour is required to clean up oil spills on land and water and naturally deal with the residue so you can deploy your company resources and time elsewhere
- If the fuel you use is enhanced to clean engines, go further, reduce carbon emissions and add more voomah, resulting in a significant reduction in maintenance and fuel costs, engines that perform at their optimum and meeting legislative requirements with little to no effort.
- Staff are no longer dealing with toxic products on an ongoing basis which affect their health and thereby their ability to carry out their duties due to illness, so you have more productive staff and do not get caught up in expensive and time consuming litigation claims
- You avoid paying fines and going through expensive court cases as your environmental clean-up programme complies with environmental legislation.
Above are ways you can save money. These are tangible, visible, measurable results you will experience. Less tangible perhaps are the gains you make in terms of public opinion and staff encouragement.
More intangibles as to how you can make money, is through being seen to impact the environment positively and attracting quality customers and staff. Imagine through your actions, winning prestigious environmental awards and being known nationally and internationally as the company that enthusiastically cares and makes a difference. What will that do to your bottom line?
So, in buying the products we offer, along with companies such as Barlow World, , …you and your company can contribute to the journey to wholeness that we are all on.

"When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world"
John Muir – American author and conservationist
"I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it is because in addition to the fact that the sea changes and the light changes, and ships change, it is because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it we are going back from whence we came."
John F. Kennedy
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
