Another abandoned #vape on my walk this morning, although this one is both #refillable and #rechargable.
Another free #lithium #cell for my collection 👍

The Green Company

The Green Company provide condensed detergents, conditioners, and household cleaning sprays via their brands GreenSheets and GreenTabs.

Believing that ‘the future of clean is green’, their mission is to help our customers reduce plastic waste with cleaner, greener alternatives.

GreenTabs are an eco-alternative to the mainstream cleaning sprays which come 99% water packed in single use plastic bottles. With The Green Company’s range of condensed cleaning tablets you can instead create your very own solution in minutes, in a refillable recycled bottle. You only need one bottle for life.

GreenSheets are laundry detergent & softening fabric conditioner, condensed into fully biodegradable* sheets.

Thanks to their Green For Good initiative, through which they donate a GreenSheet to a foodbank for every sheet sold on their website, they’ve donated hundreds of thousands of sheets to foodbanks across the UK.

The Green Company are also partnered with the charity, Village Water, who provide clean, safe drinking water to communities in Zambia & Mozambique, increasing access to laundry detergent for thousands.

*As is the case with all laundry pods and sheets in the industry as of 2024, GreenSheets contain polyvinyl alcohol, also known as PVA or PVOH. Whilst some studies do show them to be biodegradable there is some disagreement over whether PVA is really biodegradable and the extent to which it may or many not be harmful.

A sustainable 3D-printed cleaning fluid capsule for the Philips smart cleaning system for electric shavers. A transparent print using PCTG on a wooden surface with a blue filament box in the background.

In August 2022, I published a design for a #refillable #capsule intended for the "smart clean system" from #Philips that autonomously cleans an #electric #shaver. The design serves as a more #ecological alternative, intended to replace the existing cartridges JC301/50, JC302/50, JC305/50.

After a year of use with ethanol, the PETG material softened and showed hairline cracks.

I'm now refining the design, aiming to print in PCTG this time.
