SC Johnson cleans up Mr Muscle plastic waste

SC Johnson cleans up Mr Muscle plastic waste

SC Johnson is working to clean up plastic waste from its Mr Muscle line of products.

The brand's Platinum Window & Glass cleaner now comes packaged in 100% recycled ocean-bound plastic bottles, which it claims are the first of their kind in the UK.

The move comes as part of a partnership with Plastic Bank to reduce the amount of plastic waste entering the ocean - the alliance includes the opening of 509 plastic collection points across several countries including Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam and Brazil and aims to collect 15,000 metric tons of plastic waste per year that would otherwise have ended up in the ocean.

Fisk Johnson, Chairman and CEO of SC Johnson, said: "These Mr Muscle bottles are our latest effort to incorporate post-consumer recycled waste into our packaging, Together with Plastic Bank, we’re working to help protect the health of our ocean ecosystems and at the same time improve the lives of individuals around the world.”

SC Johnson aims to triple the amount of post-consumer recycled plastic content in packaging by 2025 and managed to remove more than 1.7 million kilograms of plastic from its primary packaging during the 2018/19 fiscal year.
