Saving plastic.
One screenwash at a time
Future Developments, established in 1987, pride themselves on blending and manufacturing a vast amount of chemical based products. These products are developed for household use, DIY, garden products and car care.
The requirement
As the business continued to enjoy significant growth, more consideration was given to the packaging of their products and the environment. Unette were approached to look at a concentrated, dilutable screenwash product and offer a packaging solution with more eco-credentials. Often supplied in 5 litre plastic containers, using significant plastic, increasing carbon emissions through transportation, Future Developments sought to find a more eco-friendly solution.
The solution
Unette suggested a single-use sachet for the product, significantly reducing plastic and much lighter to transport.
Not only that, but this packaging format opened up a new sales channel for Future Developments where the sachets fit in letterbox friendly packaging opening up huge benefits for online retail. The new packaging format also provides potential for Future Developments to promote the single-use Screenwash sachets to brand holders, looking for more sustainable options.
We enjoy working with Unette as they provide us with a good and impeccable service. Their staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and when combined with their ‘can do‘ approach it supports our business fundamentally. Goods are always supplied efficiently and to a high standard.
