Key principles for CID LINES, an Ecolab company

As a producer of inputs* for BIO-farming and the organic food chain
CID LINES, an Ecolab company, wants to offer a series of “BIO-compliant” products.

This goal resulted in:

• A selection of “BIO” compatible products within the existing product ranges.
  This selection is made according to the restrictive lists for raw materials and meets the critical dilution values if used according to the recommended concentrations.

• New and reformulated products.

These products ensure that the customer fully complies with the latest clean and disinfect bio-standards.

*Inputs: materials which may be used in agriculture or food processing, that are not subject to certification themselves. This includes, for example, fertilizers and soil conditioners, substrates, plant protection products, cleaning agents and disinfectants, feed materials and feed additives, food processing aids.
