ヘアケア用アルミボトル

カナダの高級ヘアケア製品メーカーであるニッチは、 アルミボトル。

So, why aluminum? Aluminum can be recycled endlessly, whereas even recyclable plastic has a limit to how many times it can be recycled before it ends up in a landfill, ocean, park, or animal’s stomach.

アルミニウムは価値があり、リサイクル業者からも非常に求められているため、たとえ路上に捨てられたとしても、誰かがリサイクル価値を求めて拾うまで、長い間そこに置かれることはありません。

As a packaging material aluminum is excellent, since it does not rust like metal does, and is more sturdy than plastic.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

But what really got my attention – I was actually quite stunned – was Niche’s mention of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.   This is a floating garbage dump of plastic waste in the North Pacific Ocean that covers an area the size of the continental USA!  Pretty disgusting – and one of the most compelling arguments to quit plastic and go aluminum.
