Spanish car wash solutions firm ISTOBAL cuts down on plastic use by over 90%

Spanish car wash and car care solution firm, ISTOBAL, has reduced plastic use by over 90% in chemical product packaging as part of its commitment to develop sustainable solutions and respond to the global call to beat plastic pollution.

Its line of Xtract super concentrates by ISTOBAL esens® is available in Doy Pack format, reducing waste as the concentrated chemical is packed in small packages instead of standard bottles.

For each car wash service, a standard 25-litre container generates almost 1 gram of plastic waste, whereas the one litre Doy Pack only generates 0.07 grams of plastic, explained the company.

In addition, all ISTOBAL esens® chemical products are biodegradable and have received international certifications such as Nordic Swan Ecolabel, VDA, and ÖNORM.
