Switch to "Just-Add-Water" Cleaning products
Shipping just the active ingredients in personal care and cleaning products helps reduce both carbon emissions involved in the transportation of the product, as well as reducing the plastic packaging required to hold a refillable concentrate in a smaller container or removing the need for it altogether.
An estimated 20% or more of global disposable plastic packaging by weight could be replaced by reusable packaging if we only shipped active ingredients.
