Biodegradability:   All organic ingredients biodegrade aerobically and anaerobically
Bioaccumulation: Not expected to bio accumulate
Mobility: High in water due to water solubility of ingredients
Environmental Fate – Air: Not Known
Environmental Fate – Soil:  Will be mobile in soil
Environmental Fate – Water:  Will biodegrade in water. High concentrations in water can result in utilization of oxygen and could impact on the aquatic species

Section 13. Disposal Considerations

Disposal Methods:

Small quantities: Can normally be flushed to sewer with plenty of water: confirm with local municipal authority or water authority.

Large quantities: Incinerate or co-dispose to hazardous waste (HH or Hh) landfill.

Disposal of Packaging: Empty containers should be triple rinsed with water: the rinsed water can be disposed to sewer. Drain container and discard to general waste.
