Through SC Johnson’s global partnership with Plastic Bank, SC Johnson Professional is helping to remove plastic waste in countries with high volumes of uncollected plastic waste before it can end up in the oceans or landfills.
The bottles for the iconic Windex® cleaner, along with the new Proline WAVE Dispenser, both contain recovered coastal plastic – highlighting the company’s commitment to innovative products and solutions designed to help customers achieve their sustainability goals.
Recovered coastal plastic is post-consumer recycled plastic collected on land within 31 miles / 50 km of an ocean so that it does not reach oceans or landfills.
Through its innovative partnership between SC Johnson and Plastic BankTM, the company is dedicated to:
- Closing the loop. Redirecting plastics that can find their way to the oceans or landfill in countries with large amounts of plastic waste and converting it into recycled plastic.
- The circular economy. Finding ways to reduce plastic waste and reuse plastic in its products.
Our Windex® trigger bottles are made up of 100% recovered coastal plastic (excluding trigger, cap and labels) and our Proline WAVE Dispenser is made up of 70% recovered coastal plastic.
Since launching it’s first recycled bottle in 2021, Windex has recovered 6,550 metric tons of recovered coastal plastic, the equivalent of 327 million single-use plastic bottles helping stop more plastic from reaching the ocean and landfill.
Working towards reducing the impact of plastic waste
SC Johnson as a family company at work for a better world, is committed to helping customers achieve their sustainability goals. This includes a focus on re-using plastic to help customers use less, waste less, and recycle more. In 2024 the company achieved a reduction in its total plastic footprint of 32% achieving its goal of 30% a year ahead of the 2025 commitment.
The company’s strategy focuses on reducing plastic waste and applying science-based chemistry to continually improve its products. These efforts can help customers achieve their sustainability goals and create safe, healthy environments for the people they care for.
Helping customers achieve their sustainability efforts
Many organisations have policies and strategies for being more sustainable, but it can be challenging to identify efforts that enable them to make progress toward those goals. All efforts to be sustainable, no matter how big or small, and embracing sustainability can bring many benefits to businesses.
What’s important is combining the collective impact of these efforts, with a continuous culture of striving to achieve more, to drive positive change.
As Australia’s largest provider of industrial and safety equipment, Blackwoods promotes and supports a rigorous sustainability agenda.
