EcoDrop Spray Refills – Save space, save money, save plastic, save our Ocean (from RRP £1.75 per refill)

Did you know that cleaning sprays are 98% water? Help save plastic waste from reaching the Ocean with the original and most-loved OceanSaver innovation, the EcoDrop Spray Refills. Every EcoDrop you use saves one plastic cleaning bottle from the Ocean, just drop one of OceanSaver’s plant based, non-toxic refills into an empty bottle filled with tap water and shake! OceanSaver EcoDrrops come in seven formulations: Antibacterial, Antibacterial & Disinfectant, Bathroom, Kitchen, Glass, Floors, Shower and Multipurpose(Lavender and Apple).

The refills’ light weight means 85% lower CO2 emissions (the same quantity of conventional sprays would take 12 trucks vs 1 trucklaod of OceanSaver) and they’re half the price of other plant-based brands (like Method and Ecover) and price-matched to Dettol (which isn’t plant based). No fuss, no mess, zero plastic waste, cheaper than buying a new plastic bottle and they’re proven to clean like the leading brands and take up less space.

OceanSaver is building the first Ocean megabrand in consumer goods, harnessing the unparalleled connection we all have with the ocean to enable anyone to become an OceanSaver. Every product bought makes an impact, with over 2 million pieces of plastic and 11,000 litres of harmful chemicals saved from our Ocean so far. In addition, from April 2024. for every OceanSaver pack bought, the team will donate 1% of proceeds to the Blue Marine Foundation (www.bluemarinefoundation.com), restoring vital marine habitats with the Solent Seascape Project, home to native shellfish, cuttlefish, sea horses, sharks, and dolphins. To date, 200,000 people have become an OceanSaver.

Charles Clover, Co-Founder, Blue Marine Foundation, says, “We’re grateful for OceanSaver’s contribution to supporting our pioneering work in the Solent Seascape Project – the first seascape scale restoration project in the UK. By making small everyday changes at home, we can help restore the health of our Ocean.”
