SC Johnson Professional has launched a new washroom soap dispenser made from recovered coastal plastic.
The SCJ Professional Proline WAVE 1 litre washroom soap dispenser is made from 70 per cent recovered coastal plastic, which is post-consumer recycled waste plastic collected on land within 50 km of an ocean so that it does not reach oceans or landfills.
SC Johnson Professional CEO Katja von Raven said SC Johnson has already seen successful launches of bottles made from 100 per cent recovered coastal plastic in the US and Europe through its Mr Muscle and Windex product ranges, thanks to the company’s global partnership with Plastic Bank.
“In our extensive market research with facility management professionals, we found that 91 per cent of respondents believed that their choice of a skin care dispenser can contribute to meeting their business’s sustainability targets.
“So, by leading the way with our new dispenser made from 70 per cent recovered coastal plastic, we are allowing our customers to act immediately on a topic they and their people care about.”
According to SC Johnson, the company’s partnership with Plastic Bank empowers collection communities in vulnerable coastal areas in Indonesia, Philippines and Brazil to stop plastic waste before it enters the oceans or landfills, whilst improving the lives of those who collect it by providing them with a new source of income.
