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 reusable Prevented Ocean Plastic spray bottle from MACK replaces spray bottles that are made from virgin plastic.
The bottle and trigger head are made from 100% recycled plastic, sourced through the Prevented Ocean Plastic scheme. This scheme is the largest of its kind, preventing over 1000 tons of plastic entering the oceans every month. This ocean bound plastic is collected by volunteers living in areas at risk of ocean plastic pollution.
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 made from virgin plastic (plastic that has just been made), which just contributes to the plastic waste that pollutes the planet and its oceans. Switching to MACK BioPods and using a reusable bottle helps to solve these problems. 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 refills you can remove several single use plastic bottles from your household. Using the MACK reusable Prevented Ocean Plastic spray bottle with the BioPods helps to prevent some of that aforementioned plastic entering the ocean!
The bottle is 100% packaging free.
The bottle is designed to last for a while, and to be reused many times. However, when it is time to dispose of it, it is fully recyclable.
