Factors

Ownership

100.0 reported

CA 100%

Prism Care Corporation describes itself on its own site as a 100% Canadian-owned company founded in April 1999 and, on eco-max.com, as a family business that remains one today; madeinca.ca's directory corroborates it as Canadian owned. A Corporations Canada federal name search for Prism Care and Prism Care Corporation returned no matching corporation, indicating it is provincially rather than federally incorporated; the Ontario Business Registry's name search blocks automated fetches, so no registry filing could be checked directly to verify the controlling shareholder.

Manufacturing

CA 85% · other 15%

The vendor repeats across several pages that it develops and makes all of its liquid products at its own single office and manufacturing facility in Mississauga, Ontario, bullfrog-powered with green electricity since 2010; madeinca.ca's directory independently lists Eco-Max as manufactured in Mississauga, Ontario. Liquids (washes, sprays, cleaners) make up most of the catalogue. The company also says it partners with outside makers for its non-liquid lines (laundry pacs, dishwasher pacs, dryer sheets, dissolving strips) without naming where, so a share is left off Canada.

Eco-Max's mission page states its surfactants are RSPO certified (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil), meaning they derive from palm oil grown almost entirely in Southeast Asia, and its scents come from globally sourced therapeutic-grade essential oils; neither page names supplier countries or gives a percentage split. No vendor or directory source addresses country of origin for raw materials, so this mix is a rough estimate weighted toward the tropical origin of palm-derived surfactants, with plant-derived chemicals and essential oils otherwise largely imported.
