The feature image shows the reliance on single use plastic used in every day windscreen repair. Plastic injectors, syringes plastic needles, plastic pots, plastic lids, retail blister packs, razor blade holders all of which can be designed out of the repair process.
Here at GT we do not use retail blister packs (as our products are not displayed on a shelf). We do not use plastic syringes as they are not UV resistant and can be detrimental to resin performance before use. We do not use plastic injectors because we only use properly engineered professional stainless steel VTP tooling.
A syringe is not just a single plastic item as it comes with a plunger, a needle, a needle sleeve and plastic blister package. GT has designed out the use of most single use plastics. Whilst it is difficult to eliminate plastic usage GT is proud that our process has designed out 70% of our plastic within the repair process.
GT stainless steel injectors do not need syringes as they take drops direct from the bottle using 66% less resin than a plastic injector which uses 12 drops per repair. We support BSI world standards day on the 14th October 2020 with its theme of "protecting the planet with standards"
