Green, Natural & Organic A combination of several technical issues is to blame for our lack of updates for a while. While we prefer not to use this forum to boast about our own company, I want to respond to a question that we get asked constantly. That is, "what makes your products different from others in the marketplace?" The short answer is OUR PRODUCTS WORK. I travel a lot for nzymSys and I cons...

An advertising flyer in my Sunday newspaper from a national home improvement chain listed several products that now had "new lower prices". One of them, a so called "natural all-purpose cleaner" from a major chemical manufacturer (think bleach here), was reduced from $2.97 for a 32 oz bottle to $2.67. Obviously that is far less expensive than many other green cleaners including our own Ocean...

Many commercial air fresheners that you buy in your local supermarket or hardware store can emit VOCs (volatile organic compounds). VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Some fresheners emit petroleum distillates which can irritate eyes, skin and the respiratory tract. Other fresheners contain phthalates which have been linke...

Open a window - yes, it sounds too easy, but the fact of the matter is that if you want to improve the air quality of almost any indoor environment, the fastest and most effective way to do it is simply to open a window and let some fresh air in. It doesn't matter if you reside in a rural country setting or an inner-city industrial area, the air quality is better outside the door than inside...

Always on the lookout for ways to improve indoor air quality, today's focus is on flooring materials, especially carpets and rugs. When it comes to floor coverings, it is safe to say, as with most things, you get what you pay for. The safest choices are carpets and rugs made of natural fibers - wool, sisal, or jute - which, compared to synthetic options, are more expensive. So, if the object...

Despite growing evidence of population-wide obesity resulting from the inclusion of so many processed foods into the American diet over the past 50 or so years (an entirely different subject), as a society, we profess to value healthy living in all other respects, with biking and jogging and running and cardio fitness and sports participation dominating much of our lives, and that's a good t...

This was sent to me from an old friend. I though it worth sharing (with permission from the author, of course! Thanks Bonnie.)
Dear Family and Friends,
Turn off your televisions! Practice selective reading of the newspaper! Stop listening to the "news"! Resist reading and forwarding doom & gloom e-mail messages!

Here at nzymSys, we are great at developing new natural earth friendly products, but awful at selecting product names. Just look at our company name and you'll know what I mean. We have several products coming out of the development stage and they need names. So here's the deal. Send me your suggestions for the following products and if I select your name, I'll send...

Driving in to my office today, I noticed how much faster cars were traveling than they were a month or so ago before gas prices dropped so sharply. I was driving between 65 and 70 mph (65 mph Speed Limit) and being passed like I was standing still. When gasoline was $4+ per gallon, I rarely noticed cars exceeding the speed limit. Now with gas prices dipping below $2 per gallon for the first ...

A couple of days ago, NBC'S the Today Show did a piece on how vacuum cleaners spread bacteria. While it has been well known that hepa filters help the spread of pathogens through the vac exhaust, this study looked at bacteria that get attached to the brushes and are then spread throughout the property.
When you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Most of what the ...

Q: What would you do for the environment?
OBAMA: It is critical that we understand this is not just a
challenge; it's an opportunity, because if we create a new energy
economy, we can create five million new jobs, easily. It can be an
engine that drives us into the future the same way the computer was
the engine for economic growth over the last couple of decades. We
can do it,...

There was an article in Sunday's (Nov 2) Hartford Courant, by Anne Hamilton, discussing whether snail mail or electronic mail has the smaller carbon footprint. While the answer would seem obvious, a study commissioned by Stamford CT based Pitney Bowes Inc., a manufacturer of postage meters and other products used in conventional mail, commissi...

One of the more frequent questions I get is "what exactly are enzymes?". The short answer is that they are proteins or protein based molecules that act as biological catalysts. In other words, enzymes enable or speed up reactions that would otherwise not occur or take an inordinately long time to occur. The enzymes, unlike s...

With the launch of our new nzymSys website, I wanted to relate some of my personal experiences as I have shifted to let's say a more "environmentally conscious" state. I am a blogging "newbie", so please bear with me.
My name is David Bloom and I head up nzymSys, Inc., a company that develops and manufactures ...
