The product, which according to the label is equivalent to a 300ml bottle of non-concentrate shower gel, is applied via a screwed-on pump dispenser with locking function. One or two pushes on the pump are said to be sufficient for the every-day shower experience. In addition, the product does not contain any microplastics. www.aldi-sued.de A bio-range from Poliboy The traditional German brand, Poliboy, is constantly expanding its range of cleaning products by using naturally active ingredients wrapped in suitable packaging. The picture shows two examples from the brand’s current organic range, namely bathroom and glass/surface cleaners. The climate- neutral, vegan products conform with NCP standards and the fragrance created by essential oils. The bottle is made from 100% recycled material. A lockable trigger helps in applying the product evenly to the surfaces to be cleaned. The bottle has a label in the neck area with a QR code which provides information about a climate protection project. www.poliboy.de A laundry fragrance from 100% recycled material The German discount pharmacy company, dm, has brought out a laundry fragrance under its own “Denk mit” brand which comes in a 400 ml bottle made from 100% recycled material. The product can be used in washing machines and dryers. A bitter ingredient has been added to the liquid for child safety reasons. The cap, which is not made from recyclate, serves as a dispensing aid. The sleeve label is perforated which enables the bottle and label to be separated for easier sorting purposes. www.dm.de A nourishing shower gel from Nivea Pressure being exerted by small, new market players operating in the environmentally-friendly personal care products sector is not allowing large manufacturers to relax which is resulting in the introduction of new innovations and improvements in products. Nivea has launched a nourishing shower gel that meets both of these demands under the brand name “Natural Balance”. The opaque, shimmering vegan shower gel has a fragrance of cotton blossoms and is free from microplastics. The product consists of 99% of biodegradable raw materials and is infused with organic argan oil. The not-quite transparent bottle is made from 97% recycled mate- rial and secured via an easy-to-open hinged press-down lid with sloped brand lettering. www.nivea.de
