When I lived in Calgary they used beet juice and it worked fine.

The sugars lower the freezing point of the ice so the salt works better but it still needs salt.

From what i found its beet juice mixed with salt brine. Not as bad as normal ice melt apparently.

Though I’m sure this isn’t great for the environment either.

Calgary is semi-arid. Beet juice would not work in a place like Ontario. Too much ice!
