What specific surfaces and materials can this multi-surface disinfectant be safely used on?

It is safe for sealed hard surfaces such as countertops, tiles, stainless steel, glass and laminate, but should not be applied to untreated wood, porous stone, fabrics or painted surfaces that could absorb the liquid.

Are there any toxicity or safety concerns associated with the benzalkonium chloride in this cleaner?

Benzalkonium chloride is an effective biocide, yet it can irritate skin and eyes and is toxic if swallowed, so users should wear protective gloves, avoid direct contact with mucous membranes and store the product out of reach of children.

Is the packaging of this disinfectant recyclable or are its ingredients biodegradable?

The bottle is typically made of PET plastic, which is widely recyclable where collection systems exist, while the chemical ingredients, including the quaternary ammonium compound and synthetic surfactants, are not biodegradable.
