It all started with a dome. 🏔️

Over 30 years ago, Eco Solutions was just an idea, with no real blueprint for how it would work in the Canadian marketplace. Step by step, we built it into something bigger.

Over the years we added liquid de-icers, then built our own production of bagged ice melters, and today we supply bulk and bagged products to retail stores.

Through all of it, one thing hasn't changed since day one: making de-icers that keep things safer, not just for us, but for the environment too.

Thank you to every customer, partner, and team member who's been part of the journey. Here's to the next 30! 🎉

Summer's behind us, fall is here, and winter is on its way. 🍂❄️

While most people spent the summer enjoying the sun, we were getting ready for this exact moment. Our team spent the warm months planning, preparing, and building inventory so we'd be fully stocked before the first snowfall.

And when the storms hit, we move fast. Most of our customers call for product between 1:00 and 2:00 AM, and our team is loading and delivering until 4:00 AM so parking lots, walkways, and roads are safe by morning.

Whether the snow shows up in October or November, we're ready. đź’Ş

One teaspoon of salt. That's all it takes to push five gallons of fresh water past the safe limit for the fish and everything else living in it.

That number comes from researchers who study chloride in our lakes and rivers. And here's the part that got us: once salt gets into the ground or the water, it doesn't dilute and it doesn't break down. It just stays there.

Every winter we spread millions of tons of it on our lots, sidewalks and roads, and almost nobody stops to ask where it ends up.

That's the real reason liquid de-icer exists. Done properly, it uses a fraction of the material to get the same result on snow and ice. That also means a fraction of the chloride going somewhere it can't come back from.

If that number bothered you as much as it bothered us, it's worth a few minutes to see how the liquid side actually works 👇

Scott Iles (Humber College) told us about one of the toughest nights last winter: rain, freezing rain, ice pellets, and snow, all in the same storm. They were adjusting almost every half hour, three full-time staff running different equipment just to stay ahead of it.

That's winter ops in Ontario. You adapt to what the storm gives you. Full episode up now, link in comments.

Scott Iles, superintendent at Humber College, walked us through one of the toughest storms Humber faced last winter: rain, then freezing rain, then ice pellets, then snow, three things happening at once.

Their crew would hit an area with liquid, watch it start to bubble, then watch it freeze right back over. They'd add granular for grit, and watch that start to wash away. It meant adjusting almost every half hour throughout the night.

They had three full-time staff running different pieces of equipment simultaneously just to try to stay ahead of it. It's a good reminder that winter maintenance isn't a fixed formula, it's reading the storm and adjusting in real time.

25 years ago, I would have told you never to use liquid in freezing rain. I didn't believe it would work.

Scott Iles, superintendent at Humber College, told us liquid actually stays on better in freezing rain than granular, which just washes off. That matches what we've been seeing over the last 5 to 8 years, as storms have gotten heavier on the dilution side: freezing rain, rain, wet snow.

The sugar beet based product's biggest strength turns out to be its residual, how long it can actually hold off. It's the same thing we're hearing from clients across the country, people pleasantly surprised at how long it lasts even in a heavy dilution storm.

Scott Iles, superintendent at Humber College, shared a story from last winter that says a lot about why liquid matters. It hit minus 20 degrees one night, salt had been applied, and nothing melted. It was simply too cold for it to work.

The complaints started rolling in: slip and fall concerns, parking stalls people couldn't see. It turned into a week-long back and forth with public safety and other departments, just proving the salt had actually been put down.

That experience is what pushed Humber to lean harder into liquid. As Scott put it, you can see the result a lot better and a lot faster than when you're just applying regular sodium chloride.

Scott Iles, superintendent at Humber College, gave us an honest breakdown of where liquid does the whole job, and where it doesn't.

Light, cold, fluffy snow under about 3 centimeters is no contest for a good pre-treat. Come in the next day and it looks like it never snowed. Past that threshold, or with heavier, wetter snow, the composition changes as it melts and dilutes, and you need to bring in granular as well.

His conclusion, and it's a fair one: pure liquid on its own isn't going to completely replace granular in the Great Lakes region. It's about knowing which tool fits which storm.

Scott Iles, superintendent at Humber College, gave us a real rundown of what it actually takes to make your own brine, and it's worth hearing before you go down that road.

A large-scale brine maker alone can run around $50,000. Then there's getting the concentration right. Use the wrong ratio of mag chloride or calcium chloride, and Scott's heard the horror stories: everything turns to slush, and you end up with a coated film everywhere that's a nightmare to deal with.

His take on the product Humber actually uses: he's never had an issue with it, and he's confident putting it down in any situation without worrying about it.

There are other options out there besides what everybody's been doing for the last hundred years. Full conversation with Scott is up now. Link in comments.
