Spring has sprung! The days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer, there are leaves on the trees and flowers in the garden. It’s the right time of year to throw open the windows and give your home a refresh, and join more and more people choosing eco-friendly ways to start a spring clean.
Prevented Ocean Plastic™ are happy to share a few better plastic choices where every scrub could support hard-working people and every shine could contribute to cleaner seas.
1. ECO EGG’s Stain Remover
The team at Eco Egg are proud of their “no nasties formula”- their stain remover is non-toxic to aquatic life, vegan, plant-based, and contains no chlorine bleach. And having developed such a stellar solution, it made little sense to store it in single-use throwaway packaging. Instead the bottle is made from Prevented Ocean Plastic™ and also 100% recyclable. Join the eggvolution of spring cleaning!
2. MACK’s Pump Bottle
Mack don’t want you to buy plastic bottles. The first strategy of the fine folks behind the planet-friendly homecare cleaning range was not to introduce or sell more plastic cleaning bottles to the market at all. However, when it became apparent that their customers lacked existing bottles or wanted to purchase a new one for the MACK range, they chose to make one for them out of Prevented Ocean Plastic™. The MACK team had conversations about using aluminium or glass or bamboo but made the conscious decision to keep away from the ‘twee zone’ and unanimously agreed that Prevented Ocean Plastic™ was the only moral option.
3. NATRIE’s Bergamot & Lime Bathroom Cleaner
Natrie are on a mission- to show that you can have a shiny bathroom or kitchen without the harmful chemicals that can trigger allergies or damage the environment. Having been a professional cleaner since 2016, founder Lauren had first-hand experiences of flushed and burning skin, constant eczema flare-ups, and persistent wheezing from regular use of chemicals. She also learned about the impact of these on aquatic life and pets. She set about analysing ingredients, scouring product safety data sheets, and building a brand that could provide super-effective cleaning products while also being kind to the planet. Natrie’s eco-friendly range is packaged in Prevented Ocean Plastic™.
4. DELPHIS ECO’s Glass & Stainless Steel Cleaner
Delphis Eco have a wide range of products to help speed up your spring clean. And every single bottle they produce is made from 100% recycled plastic. The British brand’s Glass & Stainless Steel Cleaner leaves a sparkling, non-streaky and smear-free finish all around your home. The vegan and eco-friendly cleaner is alcohol free and easy to use, even in direct sunlight, and can be used on sinks, pans and appliances too. Earlier this year Delphis also announced they will soon be moving to 67% recycled triggers, well on their way to completely removing virgin plastic from their packaging.
5. OCEAN SAVER’s Bottle for Life
Ocean Saver’s 100% Prevented Ocean Plastic™ Bottle for Life is designed to be used again and again and again. Just add water and one the British brand’s EcoDrops- dissolvable sachets containing solutions specially formulated for cleaning glass, floors, bathrooms and kitchens. One bottle for this Spring and for every Spring cleaning season after.
