Organic Amway??

A co-worker and I were recently talking about organic products and she said the only products she uses for cleaning are Amway because they are all organic and have been since the 60's. She even claims their packaging materials are corn based and dissipate completely in water. I knew they made a product call Liquid Organic Cleaner but I figured they were taking advantage of the fact that the term "Organic" is fairly fluid.

I tried to do some searching online but it seems most of the websites I can find are all Amway bases sources. What do you fine folks know about how Amway does business? Are they good stewards of the earth where their products come from? What about their manufacturing and production facilities? I'd love to hear what you know.

    They call the cleaners Liquid Organic because they are biodegradable and less harmful to the environment; not because the ingredients are organic. Not sure about their packaging!
