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.
