Sustainability

Virox set the standard for safe, effective, and sustainable disinfectants more than 25 years ago. From our approach to innovation, product development, and manufacturing to our community support initiatives, we embrace environmental sustainability across our product offerings and operations.

Tough on Pathogens, Gentle on the Planet

Formulations engineered by Virox achieve an exceptional user safety profile without compromising broad-spectrum efficacy*. Our patented technologies protect human and animal health from pathogens without reliance on harsh chemicals. Grounded in our One Health® commitment, this balanced approach ensures a healthy planet for generations to come.

Watch to find out how our disinfectant technologies are tough on pathogens* and gentle on the planet.

Safety Meets Efficacy

While legacy chemical disinfectants are easily formulated, they often carry toxic hazards and corrosion risks. Conversely, many green disinfectants frequently compromise on efficacy*. Virox disinfectant technology platforms achieve the ideal balance, delivering rapid efficacy* against a broad-spectrum of pathogens* while remaining non-irritating to users, highly compatible with hard surfaces, and gentle on the environment.

Go Beyond Legacy Chemistries

Many disinfectants leave unseen environmental footprints. Corrosive chemistries can compromise equipment surfaces, shortening their lifespans and driving solid waste directly into landfills. Furthermore, disposing of harsh chemicals down the drain can create aquatic toxicity risks. Formulations created by Virox feature superior material compatibility and biodegradable ingredients, preserving institutional assets while requiring no specialized chemical disposal protocols.

What Makes Virox Formulations So Different?

Lowest EPA Toxicity: Engineered to achieve the EPA’s lowest available toxicity ratings.

No PPE Required: Non-irritating to eyes and skin at in-use dilutions, requiring no personal protective equipment (PPE)**.

Clean Air Quality: Formulated without volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to preserve indoor air quality.

Environmental Integrity: Engineered with biodegradable ingredients.
