For our fragranced products

Our facts and the questions to ask

Biodegradable in landfill

Eco-One™ additive. Independent laboratory test: 93% biodegradation within 3.5 years, 0% for the same material without the additive. Up to 99% is projected within 5 years.

What to ask other suppliers: Is there an independent test report? Under which standard and with what result?

Recycled material

Made with recycled EVA. The material can be recycled, but a used screen cannot, because it is biologically contaminated.

What to ask other suppliers: Does a “100% recyclable” claim really apply to a used screen?

Packaging

Boxes made from 100% recycled cardboard. PPWR packaging documentation available.

What to ask other suppliers: Is PPWR packaging documentation available?

Anti-splash bristles

Patented Sealed Bristles Technology™. Bristles cover up to 95% of the screen and minimize urine splashback.

What to ask other suppliers: Is the anti-splash system patented? How much of the screen do the bristles cover?

Splash test

ëkcoscreen 60+: no visible splashback outside the screen in a side-by-side UV splash test under identical conditions. Video available.

What to ask other suppliers: Is there a side-by-side splash test you can watch?

Fragrance life

60+ days (ëkcoscreen 60+, xcrën HD 60+), twice as long as standard 30-day screens. Even longer in low-traffic restrooms.

What to ask other suppliers: How many days does the fragrance really last, and what is the cost per day?

Fragranced material

ëkcoscreen 60+: 141 g per screen, more than three times a typical screen.

What to ask other suppliers: How many grams of fragranced material does the screen have?

Waterless urinals

Ideal for waterless urinals.

What to ask other suppliers: Is the screen suitable for waterless urinals?

Private label

Your logo cut into the screen itself, not only printed on the packaging.

What to ask other suppliers: Can your logo become part of the product itself?

Colors and fragrances

Eleven colors and fragrances shared across our main lines. Recognizable scents: apple smells like apple, melon like melon.

What to ask other suppliers: Can you keep one scent from the urinal to the cubicle? Ask for samples and compare.

Toilet cubicles

frësh drop: 30+ days of fragrance in cubicles with little ventilation and 60+ days at low traffic, no batteries or electricity.

What to ask other suppliers: Does the air freshener need batteries, electricity or service visits?

Documents

Biodegradation test certificate, PPWR packaging documentation and safety data sheets.

What to ask other suppliers: Can the supplier document every claim?

Marketing support

Product photos, videos, logos and product texts in 22 languages.

What to ask other suppliers: Which materials and languages are included?

Up to 99% is projected within 5 years.
