I’d like to give a high-five to SC Johnson for their new product Windex Mini.
Why? Well keep reading…
SC Johnson is trying to revolutionize the use of cleaning concentrates by taking a bold step to be greener! It produced Windex Mini – a concentrated refill pouch of Windex. Which means you only buy a refill pouch, not the entire spray bottle time and time again! You re-use the bottle.
Therefore… this new concentration uses less packaging, decrease shipping impacts and reduce waste!!
Currently, people buy 21 million bottles of Windex cleaners each year. If just 20 percent of those were refilled, each year it could:
- Save 350,000 pounds of plastic – that’s 26 million ballpoint pens
- Avoid using 175,000 pounds of virgin plastic – that’s 3 million soda bottles
- Avoid transporting 735,000 gallons of water – that’s more than 6 million pounds by weight
Isn’t the impact amazing?
I am all-about this new idea of re-use! I tested it out to see if it was worthwhile, and I believe it is! As you can see there are just 3 steps! 1. Unscrew the empty spray bottle 2. Pour the liquid concentrate in 3. Fill with water! Then you are done! Re-use the bottle again and again if you buy the concentrate!
One tip from my experience, is to pour the water in VERY, VERY slowly (otherwise you get bubbles – see all my bubbles!!) Other than that, it was a smooth process. It worked great – streak free like I expect from Windex!
A downside, the product is only available for purchase online at www.scjgreenerchoices.com. But hopefully if people get interested in this product it will be more readily available at local stores soon!
Windex Mini comes in a 3-pack and sells for $7.50. Right now you can use promo code TRYMINI and save $1.50 plus free shipping. Which makes that $6 for a 3-pack.
