Bottle for life
Single-use plastic bottles are usually thrown away once the contents have been depleted but most are durable enough to be used again and again. So why not? OceanSaver’s approach is to supply an initial bottle for life with a dissolvable refill pouch for you to mix your own detergent or polish – just drop the pouch into 750ml of water and shake. When finished simply add another pouch to your existing bottle and start again.
How it works
The benefits:
- Reduced plastic going into refuse or recycling chain, therefore, reducing pollution, energy usage, and carbon footprint
- Refills are undiluted; just add water at home. This allows the product to have a smaller volume, less packaging (recyclable) and weight which, in turn, reduces transportation and storage costs
- Products are made from a plant-based, non-toxic cleaning formula
- Removable, replaceable paper-based labels
- Sadly, even a Bottle for Life has a lifespan. If it breaks simply recycle (including trigger) in your kerbside recycling
- At around £1.50 per refill (and available from all good supermarkets) cost is favourable to other well known branded products
Their Anti-bac EcoDrop which kills 99.9% of bacteria even has the Good HouseKeeping tick of approval. What’s not to love?
