Refillable Cleaning Bottles

Walmart's Cleanpath Reusable Bottles Last Longer with Refill Pods

— July 30, 2015 — Art & Design
During the time the sales of eco-friendly products were booming, Replenish's reusable bottles and refill packaging system was invented to permit continuous product and packaging reuse. While it seemed like this genius solution may never make it to market on a large scale, there is hope, considering the Replenish packaging system has now been adopted by Walmart for its line of CleanPath cleaning and personal care products.

Since many of the household care and cleaning products that consumers purchase are about 90 percent water, this solution helps to cut down on the cost and hassle of transporting heavy goods on the distributor and consumer side.

The reusable pods are attached to the bottom of the bottles and contain enough concentrate to make three bottles full. Instead of wasting water and plastic, this reusable bottle solution has consumers purchase and use only what they need.
Trend Themes
1. Reusable Packaging Systems - Adopting reusable packaging systems for consumer goods can lead to less waste and cost savings for both producers and consumers.
2. Refillable Consumer Goods - Creating refillable options for everyday household items can drastically reduce waste and foster a more sustainable lifestyle.
3. Concentrated Product Formulas - Developing highly concentrated product formulas that can be diluted by the consumer can decrease packaging waste and reduce transportation costs.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Goods - Implementing refillable packaging systems and concentrated formulas can disrupt the traditional consumer goods industry by reducing waste and transportation costs.
2. Retail - Adopting refillable options for household items can give retailers a unique selling point and cater to a growing market of eco-conscious consumers.
3. Cleaning Products - Refillable cleaning bottles and concentrated formulas can transform the cleaning products industry by reducing plastic and water waste.
