The family-owned and– operated company is celebrating this important milestone at Natural Products Expo West. The event is March 8–12, 2017, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif.

Pet care line and feature many of its bestselling products at the show. 1967 was the year that launched Earth Friendly Products, as well as the Air Quality Act and the Environmental Defense Fund. It was the dawn of the modern environmental movement, which began in 1962 with the publication of Silent Spring, Rachel Carson’s ground-breaking book on the damaging effects of pesticides. The first Earth Day was still three years away, in 1970. In 1967 Earth Friendly Products began its journey as a pioneer in the green cleaning industry, innovating new plant-powered cleaners that were safer for people, [pets](https://greenlivingguy.com/2021/08/caring-for-our-beloved-pet-and-our-loving-mother-earth/), and the planet. Today, 50 years later, the company remains dedicated to the vision of its founder: that everyone should have access to environmentally friendly cleaners that are effective and affordable. ## Earth Friendly Products: the safest for your pet “From the get-go, we were a family company, and family is still at the heart of everything we do,” says Kelly Vlahakis-Hanks, Earth Friendly Products’ president and CEO. “As a mother, I understand how important it is to provide a safe environment for my family. We’re proud to provide families with safer options for household cleaners. We want them to know that you don’t have to compromise your health or the health of the planet to clean your home.” Vlahakis-Hanks added, “I believe our dedication to family is why we’ve been around almost twice as long as our competitors.” With its decades-long commitment to making safer pet care products, Earth Friendly Products introduces ECOS™ for Pets line.
