Cleaners that help clean up the environment

摘要

Cleaning products manufacturer Summit Brands, Fort Wayne, IN, is making its packaging more environmentally friendly by incorporating 25 percent post-consumer recycled content (PCR) into the high density polyethylene (HDPE) resin used to manufacture the bottles and jugs for its specialty household cleaning and laundry products. With brands such as Super Iron Out, Instant Rust Out and Dishwasher Magic, Summit worked with Silgan Plastics and packaging provider TricorBraun on the project. Summit has long been environmentally conscious, says Dan Teague, a TricorBraun packaging consultant who sourced the bottles with Silgan Plastics. "Summit began lightweighting its bottles in the early 1990s."
