Looks like a print developer to me, accompanied by stop and fix.

Print developer for film is usually not a great idea, its far to active.
As for the kit, i use the developer for paper and it gives good results. The Stop and Fixer i also use for film and again its fine.
At the price its hard to beat.
Has anyone tried the MACO eco kit? Is it really eco?
Is it really eco?

Eco as economic (=good value).
and "dimezone" which I can only hope is a better alternative
Mainly in terms of non or little damage to the environment, skin, eyes, etc.
the fixer claims to be based on "ammonium-iposolite".
It isn't. It's just phenidone, basically, and will have a similar environmental load as that.
what is the environmental load of transporting this liquid, the energy cost of processing it etc. vs. the environmental load of chucking it down the drain?
It all depends. How complicated do you want to make this?
The major use of hyroquinone is in skin cream.At least it claims not to contain any hydroquinone.
In regards of the term "eco", I was more interested in the "ecological" side of it.
Another alternative I found is the Bellinifoto D100 here, which indeed seems to replace hydroquinone with ascorbique acide, and "dimezone" which I can only hope is a better alternative.
MSDS: no mentioning of Dimezone S
