Youth – Research and Development of Cleaning Product Tablets.

FY 2021-22 · 2021-08-16

Summary
Cleaning products are typically packaged in plastic containers and contain over 75 % water. This has contributed significantly to the problem of plastic pollution from the containers, and excessive freight and hence carbon emissions from the shipping of water. The concept behind this project is to investigate the tabletisation of ingredients for cleaning products such that they can be made without water and by the use of significantly less or even no plastic. Products made by this system would be environmentally advantageous in that the use of plastic is reduced very significantly and also allow our products to be shipped to distant markets at lower freight costs.

Description (French)
Les produits de nettoyage sont généralement présentés dans des récipients en plastique et contiennent plus de 75 % d'eau. Cette situation a contribué de manière considérable au problème de la pollution plastique causée par les contenants, ainsi qu'au transport excessif de marchandises et donc aux émissions de carbone liées au transport de l'eau. Le concept de ce projet est d'étudier la transformation en pastilles des ingrédients pour les produits de nettoyage, de sorte qu'ils puissent être préparés sans eau et en utilisant beaucoup moins de plastique, voire aucun. Les produits fabriqués à l'aide de ce système seraient avantageux pour l'environnement, car ils réduiraient considérablement l'utilisation de plastique, et permettraient également d'expédier nos produits vers des marchés éloignés à des coûts de transport inférieurs.
