Why are EcoBlu Products So Green?
When you build with EcoBlu products, you are doing your part for a sustainable environment. Our products are coated with a non-toxic, eco-friendly solution that has less Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) than a can of soda!
-
EcoBlu Products protect against termites so you will not ever have to 'tent' your home and use harmful chemicals and gases to kill termites and other insects that are damaging the ozone layer faster than automotive exhaust.
-
When you use EcoBlu products to protect your home, you will never have to replace any wood from loss to mold or wood rot again! You will be saving our forests.
-
EcoBlu coatings are non-toxic and will not leach into the ground water.
-
EcoBlu products are fire retardant - you will reduce the risk of losing your home to fire and protect our forests at the same time! The San Diego wildfires alone consumed over 6,000 truckloads of lumber!
EcoBlu products reduce consumption by using technology to create a life-long wood product.
Build Smarter with EcoBlu Products
Wood may be the most environmentally friendly material available for building homes or businesses. Here's why.
-
Non-wood products are environmentally expensive. The supplies of ores and petroleum for their production are finite; once gone, they are gone forever. Wood, on the other hand, is a renewable resource. Non-wood products require far more energy to manufacture than wood: for example - nine times as much for a steel stud as for a wood stud.
-
Wood is reusable, recyclable and biodegradable. Inorganic materials not only require excessive energy to produce, but also to recycle or dispose of when their use has been terminated.
-
Growing just one pound of wood in a vigorous younger forest removes 1.47 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and replaces it with 1.07 pounds of life-sustaining oxygen. Carbon dioxide accounts for about half of the world's greenhouse gases, a contributor to global-warming.
Mold, Fungus, Rot & Decay
Molds are fungi that can be found both indoors and outdoors. Estimates range from tens of thousands to perhaps three hundred thousand species of mold. Molds grow best in warm, damp, humid
conditions, and reproduce by making spores. Mold spores can
survive harsh environmental conditions.
Exposure to molds can cause symptoms such as nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, or skin irritation, chronic lung illnesses,such as obstructive lung disease.
- A Brown University study found a link between depression and household mold.
- 1000 species of mold are common in the U.S.
- There are currently 10,000 mold-related lawsuits pending in the U.S.
- Mold-related claims now average $3-$8 billion annually.
- Mold-related claims average $15,000 to $30,000.
- 66% of builders are concerned about health issues related to mold and nearly 75% have significant concerns about being sued as a result of mold issues.
- Insurance that once cost contractors $15,000 now routinely costs $150,000 and does not cover mold or water damage.
- Homeowners insurance usually excludes or limits claims due to mold-related damage.
Termites
Termites populate every state in the United States. Hawaii has the
highest concentration of infestation with 15.1% of the houses being
victims. Georgia tops the list in the continental US, where 5.5% of
residential homes are affected. The national average is 2.3%.
-
Homeowners pay over $2 billion per year to replace wood damaged by fungal decay and termites.
- The average amount homeowners pays $11,400 to repair a home damaged by Formosan termites.
Fire
2007 Fires, Civilian Deaths and Injuries, and Property Loss
-
Fires 1,557,500
- Civilian deaths 3,430
- Civilian injuries 17,675
- Property loss $14.6 billion
530,500 fires occurred in structures
414,000 fires, or 78 percent, of all structure fires occurred in residential properties.
Every 20 seconds, a fire department responds to a fire somewhere in the nation.
A fire occurs in a structure at the rate of one every 59 seconds, and in particular, a residential fire occurs every 76 seconds.

December 22 - BLUWOOD(TM) Featured on Latest Episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition
EcoBlu Products, Inc. (OTCBB:ECOB) today announced that its licensed product BLUWOOD(TM) was featured on a recent episode of the hit ABC television series Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Wood products coated with BLUWOOD(TM) technology that protects against mold, rot, decay, and termites were used to frame the home built for the Scott family.
The popular ABC series that builds a home for families in need utilized BLUWOOD(TM) coated wood to protect against wood ingesting insects including termites that had ravaged the family's old home. Mrs. Trina Scott, who had lost her husband in the line of duty as a police officer and was busy raising her three daughters and volunteering her free time to a police organization, neglected her home that was being destroyed by termites.
The build crew, led by host Ty Pennington, chose BLUWOOD(TM) so the Scott family would not have to worry about termite damage again.
"It is rewarding to know that in a small way we could make such a difference to a family that has sacrificed so much. Americans spend more than $5 billion a year to treat for termites and repair termite damage. By using BLUWOOD(TM) technology to protect wood, we eliminate that threat for good," said Steve Conboy, President and CEO of EcoBlu Products.
