Are we sufficiently aware of the environmental impact of conventional detergents? Some of the usual chemical ingredients in detergents can be toxic for aquatic life, likewise, packaging or CO\u2082 emissions produced by transport can be as or even more harmful to the environment. In a new episode of the radio magazine Territori 17, Lluis Montull, engineer and co-founder of Natulim, and Gemma Vallet, director of 11Onze District, talk about an ecological detergent that protects the planet and our pocket.<\/b><\/h3>\n

The misleading use of ecological marketing, known as ‘greenwashing’, is also common in the world of detergents. Terms such as eco, green, biodegradable, etc., are often <\/span>a cynical whitewashing of products that simply comply with current regulations<\/b>, but which in reality are not entirely environmentally friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n

A green label with flowers on it is of little use if the non-recyclable plastic packaging will end up in landfill or in the oceans. As Montull explains, “<\/span>only 20% of plastic detergent bottles are recycled<\/b>, the rest end up in landfills or in countries where environmental legislation is more lax”.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
