The Company conducted extensive research and has identified specific channels to penetrate with its portfolio of novel technologies. The Company intends to raise capital to assist in launching and marketing these products through debt and equity financing. The Company is now executing on this vision and is in market with four product lines, including the Breathe® Household cleaning aerosol line. Breathe is an environmentally friendly line of household cleaning aerosol products. It is the world's first aerosol household cleaning line to be approved by the EPA's Safer Choice program. This product line is biodegradable and is propelled by nitrogen, which makes up approximately 80% of the earth's breathable air. Breathe was named Partner of the Year by the EPA's Safer Choice Program for 2018, a tremendous honor. Breathe also achieved the Good Housekeeping Seal of approval.
The Breathe line is predominantly in 300 to 400 stores serviced through United Natural Foods, Inc. ("UNFI") as well as in almost 500 Home Depots through a distributor called Central Garden Excel ("Central"), one of the largest distributors to the DIY/Hardware retail channel. Central will be handling all of the Company's distribution for the Breathe household cleaning aerosol line to Home Depot. The Breathe Hand Sanitizer Spray was recently named the exclusive hand sanitizer spray at all Home Depots, and the 1oz size is now at every check out. The Breathe line is available on Amazon and Walmart.com and also available at Lowes.
