Ecogrease is for quick release pins, seat posts, pivots, bike building and other grease applications. Grease will get on your hands, so ours doesn't contain Teflon/PTFE or petrochemicals. In fact we've had mechanics call in to say thanks, having suffered dermatitis in the past from the toxic brands out there.
We had one older gentleman approach us at a trade show asking how we made it so durable - he had used some Ecogrease on his bike shed bolt, which was still there a year later! It uses special plant extracts to make it tenacious, and lubricating.
Ecogrease will biodegrade after its life on the bike - it needs the warmth, moisture and bacteria in the soil to break down back into the environment.
Grease is not really for chains as it can attract dirt when exposed. Unless you have a completely sealed chain chamber perhaps.
Ecogrease is best for parts that you move occasionally, or move a little. Ecogrease stops parts seizing up.
How to use Ecogrease The first formula of Ecogrease was a little thinner, but its now thicker and more durable. We therefore recommend taking the whole cap off to squeeze it out if you have the bottle version.
Ecogrease is used on the assembly line of a couple of bike companies now, for a healthy workforce. And is now Grease gun compatible.

'Does the job just fine' - Review by Mountainbike.Be, Belgium.
'This grease is in my storage room and here and there used as bearings but also abused (you know by now tired of me ....) As well as assembly grease. In both respects it lived. The viscosity is lower than the well-known green goo from Shimano. In case of insufficient sealed bearings, the question is how quickly Green Grease disintegrates when moisture comes in. For the time being that does not seem to be a problem.'
