We have talked a lot throughout these last entries in our blog, Dermo SA., of the importance of using the ecological detergents Given the terrible consequences of constant use of detergents conventional waste, composed of elements that are harmful to our health and very damaging to the ecosystems where they are dumped; have caused in society. The weight of the industry is still very strong and for this reason governments and leaders have been unable to prohibit the production of a product that, although harmful, continues to be manufactured without control. The alternative exists. ecological detergents They are the solution, but they bring little reward to the coffers of large corporations. They see their role as future “saviors” of aquatic ecosystems relegated; waiting for the situation to change and for someone to really dare to put the brakes on, or rather society itself to refuse to use a product that is toxic and harmful to our health.
