Whenever you purchase a Seventh Generation Body Wash or Deodorant product we will give $0.25 per pack (up to 1 million packs in the United States per year) to Clean Water Action, a non-profit organization whose goal is to stop water pollution and protect the drinking water of the United States. Join our mission to help clean up our waterways by going to www.seventhgeneration.com/cleanwateraction.
We as consumers see water as an infinite resource, but unfortunately only about 1% of the Earth’s water is fresh and potable water. [1] Even more unfortunate is that society as a whole is contaminating this water at an ever increasing rate. Consumer products such as run of the mill body wash can add to this pollution, when they don’t have biodegradable formulas. This is a huge challenge and impacts all of us, it doesn’t matter where you live.
Right now on shelves around the nation there is an entire line of personal care products that we use every day. While they may seem harmless, they can still have a negative impact on our waterways with chemicals and ingredients that don’t biodegrade. These products can produce waste that goes down our shower drain. Seventh Generation is striving to change the personal care industry one bathroom at a time!
[1] 1% of the planet’s water is fresh water that is accessible, not trapped in glaciers. 2.5% of the planet’s water is freshwater (i.e. not salt water)
What is the other 30% in the 70% OceanBound plastic bottle?
We have ambition to ultimately achieve 100% OceanBound plastic in our bottles, but unfortunately during our testing of 100% HDPE (High-density polyethylene) OceanBound bottles, when exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures over time, the bottles cracked and caused leakage of product. Since we ship throughout the US and throughout the seasons, we didn’t want to create this potential issue for consumers We are always striving to improve our plastic sourcing using renewable plant-based plastic like sugarcane or alternative post consumer recycled plastic options!
