P&G invents the new waterless "small tea bag" personal care products

HC Plastics News:

Plastic pollution is now a topic that people have to face, and many companies have begun to consciously reduce the use of plastic products.

According to foreign media reports, a leading cosmetics company invented a tea bag-sized label-like product, which may mean the end of shampoo bottles.

According to Procter & Gamble, these small “tea bags” may “end the plastic crisis forever”. Procter & Gamble is the giant behind well-known brands such as Ariel and Pantene.

This new concept, DS3, allows consumers to choose a small white "sample" and then, like magic, can be turned into a variety of detergents by adding water.

To wash your hair with one of these products, you can take a small square piece of this product and then use a water to make a foam without using a plastic bottle containing shampoo or conditioner.

Most of these small squares are disposable and will dissolve when added to water.

They were made by a manufacturing process patented by P&G, and it took P&G 10 years to come up with the idea to come up with the experts.

Different types of detergents have patterns to show their respective uses.

For example, a small piece of shampoo will be printed with a picture of a person's hair, a picture of a shirt on the washing powder, and a picture of the toilet on the toilet cleaner.

The idea behind this concept is to drastically reduce plastic waste and reduce the environmental impact of cleaning products.

Samples of these products have been sent to a small number of buyers in the United States.

There are 120 personal care labels in a box - the kit includes shampoo, conditioner, facial cleanser, shower gel, and the test sale price is $29.

Other cleaning and beauty products include hand washes, dish soaps, detergents, surface cleaners and body washes.

For surface cleaners, a small square and a bottle of water can be mixed for several weeks.

They have a variety of aromas, from pineapple to mint and sandalwood.

According to Kathy Fish, P&G's chief research, development and innovation officer, these samples can reduce the 80% and 75% of the emissions from traditional cleaning products because they are not water-containing.

At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Fish said: "This technology can change many product categories. A liquid-free product works better than water-based cleaning products."

She added that in the United States, the widespread use of this technology can help reduce the production of 1 million plastic bottles per year.

It can also reduce 12 million pounds of carbon dioxide produced by 100,000 trucks and 800 million gallons of water needed to produce, transport and use everyday household and personal care products.

This small square is also lighter and cheaper than ordinary household cleaning products.

Made of pure natural materials, they contain no preservatives and are housed in bamboo boxes.

Fish added: "From a resource scarcity point of view, this is indeed a breakthrough. There is no plastic here, these are bamboo containers, completely free of plastic. Consumers want more natural products."

The Daily Mail set off a revolution against the plastics (Turn The Tide On Plastic) and the idea came.

As part of a major clean-up, the government announced a bottle deposit return program, which will be implemented in the UK in 2023, with the use of plastic straws and cotton earplugs.

Procter & Gamble may one day use this new technology to significantly reduce the amount of plastic products used in the UK.

So far, this product has been sold to more than 400 US customers on the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo, and will be launched on a larger scale. Indiegogo is a website that tests new products through crowdfunding.

In addition, environmentally friendly cosmetics company Lush also launched its first package-free store.

As part of the anti-waste plastic war, the company will open a “naked shop” on Market Street in Manchester, where no packaged goods are sold.

This is part of the retailer's anti-plastic campaign, especially for single-use plastics, as the Daily Mail highlighted in its anti-plastic campaign, which is blocking waterways and destroying wildlife habitats.

Lush's co-founder Mark Constantine said: "For a long time, we have had to endure too much packaging. The financial and environmental costs are obvious."

Turning gels and liquids into solids is the secret to selling plastic-free cosmetics.

The result is a series of iridescent cosmetics that look like soap bars, but everything from solid shampoos to conditioners to face creams.

Lush said that a shampoo stick can be used about 100 times.

Product inventor Alessandro Commisso said: "For example, we remove the ingredients from the shower gel and add stearate (a white fine powder that thickens and hardens the liquid) And turn them into solid sticks."

Solid products need to be activated in a different way than traditional cosmetics.

“For example, massage sticks, creams and cleansers are related to body temperature. Other products need to be activated with water, such as our shampoo sticks. You rub them on wet hair and they look like bottled shampoos,” says Commiso. The same bubble."

To compensate for the lack of packaging, all tag information for each product is stored in a free app called LushLabs.

Shoppers can bring their products home with their own containers, or the store offers paper bags, metal soap boxes or trays made from recycled coffee makers.
