CONCENTRATED / LIQUIDLESS PRODUCTS ARE BETTER FOR THE PLANET

DID YOU KNOW THAT MOST CLEANING PRODUCTS ARE MADE OF 90% WATER?

In a standard cleaning product bottle, water makes up more than 90% of the contents. When you purchase a multi purpose cleaner, all you’re really paying for is a plastic bottle, water, and a small amount of actual ingredients. Is this really necessary? There are several environmentally positive effects that result from drying out these cleaning and personal care products: It reduces packaging which is one of the primary advantages of concentrated/liquidless products. In traditional liquid products, such as laundry detergent, shampoo, and cleaning supplies, they often come in large plastic containers that are difficult to recycle. Where as concentrates typically come in smaller packages that use less plastic and take up less space in landfills. Another benefit of concentrates and liquidness products, is that they are lighter and more compact than their liquid counterparts. This means that they require less fuel to ship, resulting in reduced emissions and a smaller carbon footprint. This is particularly important for companies that ship their products long distances, as reducing shipping emissions we can have a significant positive impact on the environment. As well, many traditional liquid products require a significant amount of water to manufacture, transport, and use. Concentrated/liquidless products, on the other hand, typically require less water to produce and can be diluted with water when they are used. This reduces overall water usage and conserves this valuable resource. Lastly, concentrated/liquidless products can help to reduce waste by extending the life of a product. Because they are concentrated, users can dilute them with water as needed, which means that they will last longer than traditional liquid products. This reduces the amount of product that needs to be discarded, resulting in less waste and a smaller environmental impact. In conclusion, this type of product offers a number of benefits over traditional liquid products when it comes to environmental impact. They require less packaging, produce fewer shipping emissions, use less water, and can help to reduce waste. As more companies and consumers embrace these products, we can expect to see a reduction in the environmental impact of household and personal care products.
