Caps: an innovation that affects the environment
Most sprays used for cleaning contain more than 95 per cent water. This requires unnecessary transport and storage costs. The product manufacturers therefore offer concentrated products to be diluted on site. If this solution solves the problems of transport and storage, it raises other ones: unnecessary consumption due to uncontrolled dilutions or the handling of concentrated chemicals. Caps are small refills of concentrated product for sprays. They come to screw on the bottle. During screwing, a membrane is pierced and releases the concentrated product into the bottle. Once the mixture is homogeneous, the operator unscrews the Cap's and places the gun back to the bottle. Beyond the technical benefits, the environmental impact is major because Caps only weigh 11 grams (against more than 80 grams of plastic for ready to use spray).
Recycling Caps
Caps and their packaging are fully recyclable. As soon as a "cartridge" containing 4 Caps is used, the customer can return it. Pollet sells the cartridges in pre-stamped boxes. Customers have the possibility to return without cost, the empty Cap’s to the factory for recycling - as of today, the return proposal is only available on Belgian and French markets.
Product recycling is a novelty in the world of cleaning and cleaning professionals. And it is greeted with great enthusiasm.
Laureate of the Innovation Trophy
It is precisely the concepts of consumption management and return of the used Caps that was rewarded in Paris at the prestigious Europropre fair. Pollet was awarded the first prize of the Innovation Trophy. Europropre takes place every two years and brings together the major professional players in hygiene and cleanliness solutions.
The company Pollet: already 8 generations
Founded in 1763, the company specializes in the research, manufacture and marketing of cleaning products for the hygiene and cleaning markets. Pollet exports to more than 15 countries and has a production of almost 50 per cent ecological.
