MOLD PROBLEMS CAN COST YOUR BUSINESS AND BRAND

Microscopic mold spores exist everywhere which means that a mold problem can happen at any time during production, storage and shipping. As long as the conditions are favorable to mold growth, your products are not adequately protected and vulnerable to moisture damage. The last thing you want is for your valuable goods to arrive at the destination covered in mold.

Not only will your business incur tremendous direct monetary and time losses remediating the products, but you will also face significant costs and risks in the form of lost sales, delayed product launches, potential charge-backs, negative environmental impacts, cancelled orders, and damaged brand reputation.

The ripple down effect is far greater than the mold case itself:

• Cost of remediation
• Lost revenues
• Delays
• Brand reputation

Mold spores will always exist on raw materials and finished goods. If suppliers practice proper material management and pack products “clean and dry”, and thereafter use an anti-mold product or desiccant, then they can significantly limit the accumulation of mold spores to protect the finished goods during shipment.
