Environmental Details
We know how difficult it can be to tell how much of an impact what you are buying has on the environment, and what effect switching to a more sustainable product has, so we have found out and compiled all of this information for you below.
The Elephant Box Reusable Cleaning Spray Bottle replaces spray bottles that are made from plastic.
The Bottle is made from premium 304 grade stainless steel. The trigger spray head is made from BPA free plastic.
Did you know that ordinary cleaning products bought from the supermarket are "pre-mixed" and contain over 90% water? That adds a lot of weight and size to the cleaning products available in supermarkets, which means more lorries are needed to transport them, contributing to higher carbon emissions. The thing is, you have water readily available at home, so it seems rather pointless transporting all that water around in the cleaning products. Not only that, cleaning products from the supermarket are packaged in plastic bottles, which just contributes to the plastic waste that pollutes the planet and its oceans. Cleaning refills are different. They contain a highly concentrated cleaning solution with most of the water removed, resulting in a far lighter and smaller product to transport. Plus, they aren't packaged in plastic, so by using the range of neat Refills you can remove several single use plastic bottles from your household, and the Stainless Steel Bottle will far outlive any plastic counterpart.
The Elephant Box Reusable Spray Bottle is packaged in a recyclable cardboard box.
The Bottle is incredibly hard wearing and designed to last, however, if you do need to dispose of it, the bottle itself is 100% recyclable and can be placed in with your household recycling. The trigger head is more difficult to recycle, but there are schemes such as TerraCycle where this can be recycled.
