Newer assets are likely to be more efficient. | Ecolab Inc. average age ratio of depreciable property, plant and equipment deteriorated from 2019 to 2020 and from 2020 to 2021. |
| Estimated total useful life | Over longer time periods, this ratio is a useful measure of company depreciation policy and can be used for comparisons with competitors. | Ecolab Inc. estimated total useful life of depreciable property, plant and equipment decreased from 2019 to 2020 but then increased from 2020 to 2021 not reaching 2019 level. |
