Single Use Plastic Waste in Windscreen Repair Kits
The claims of windscreen repair being an eco friendly service are correct in that glass being repaired is a great service to offer.
However if that process is carried out using needless single use plastic surely that benefit is counter productive.
Here at GT we concentrate on all aspects of our windscreen industry including the hidden bits others do not consider.
If you want 15ml of GT resin our most popular size (100 repairs) we supply it in one bottle.
We carried out an exercise and discovered that an industry refill pack with a 5ml bottle would have 13 parts of plastic derived from it. If you buy 3 bottles of 5ml in a refill pack that makes 39 parts of plastic using 60% more resin
The GT way is a 15ml bottle a lifetime tool and 3 parts of plastic and uses 60% less resin than a plastic syringe dispensing system.
