Stop microplastics now! Why solid showers are so sustainable
von Sandra Langmann08.02.2023
In 2021, plastic cotton buds were banned from our bathrooms. The reason is simple: even the smallest products generate huge amounts of plastic waste. But there are even bigger problems in bathrooms. For example, shampoos and shower gels. Here you can find out why solid shower gels and shampoos are a truly sustainable alternative.
The four most important reasons to switch to solid shampoo
Solid shampoos and shower gels score points when it comes to packaging. Keyword: cardboard instead of plastic. But there are even more solid reasons that speak in favor of the solid alternatives. Here are the four most important arguments for solid shower gels and shampoos:
Argumentation 1
Less consumption
Solid shampoos score highly when it comes to the number of uses. Consumption depends on many factors, but the rule of thumb is: one solid shampoo replaces approximately two bottles of liquid shampoo. This is one of the strongest arguments from the point of view of sustainable consumption.
Argumentation 2
No plastic
Solid shampoo is better for wastewater because it contains no preservatives and usually fewer fragrances and dyes. The packaging can be made from recycled cardboard or paper - rather than plastic. Solid shampoos also save energy during transport because they take up less space than bottles of liquid shampoo.
Argument 3
Water saving
To put it simply, a solid shampoo is the same as a liquid shampoo - just without the additional water in its production. For comparison: liquid products such as shampoo and shower gel usually consist of between 70 - 90% water. Solid shampoo usually foams and nourishes the hair just as well as a conventional shampoo. However, because it does not contain water, fewer preservatives are necessary compared to liquid shampoo.
Argumentation 4
