What are the advantages of sustainable spray
As a new type of spray product that takes into account both "use demand" and "environment/health friendly", the advantages of sustainable spray mainly focus on the four core dimensions of environmental impact reduction, health risk reduction, use experience optimization, and efficient resource utilization, which can be broken down into the following categories:
1、 Core advantage: More environmentally friendly, reducing ecological burden
The core value of sustainable spray is to reduce the negative impact on the environment during the whole life cycle of the product (production, use, waste), which is also the key difference between it and traditional spray:
1. No/low volatile organic compound (VOCs) emissions
Traditional spray often uses volatile solvents such as propane and butane as propellants. These substances belong to VOCs, which not only aggravate atmospheric ozone pollution and induce haze, but also may participate in the greenhouse gas cycle. However, the sustainable spray mostly uses environmental friendly propellants such as compressed air, carbon dioxide (food grade), nitrogen, or no propellants through the "manual pumping" design to reduce VOCs emissions from the source and comply with national environmental regulations (such as the European Union REACH, the United States EPA related standards).
2. Degradable/recyclable packaging materials
Packaging often uses biodegradable plastics (such as PLA polylactic acid), recycled PET, and metal cans (100% recyclable) to replace traditional difficult to degrade ordinary plastics or fluorine-containing coated containers (fluoride may seep into soil/water sources). Some companies also adopt the design of "replaceable inner bags+reusable outer bottles" to reduce packaging waste and lower the pressure of garbage disposal.
3. Natural ingredients reduce water/soil pollution
The contents of spray (such as detergent, humectant, insect repellent, etc.) mostly use plant extracts and bio based ingredients to replace traditional chemical synthetic additives (such as phosphorus containing compounds, harmful preservatives). After use, residual components can naturally degrade and will not be washed away by rainwater into soil or water bodies, avoiding damage to aquatic ecology (such as preventing excessive algal growth) or affecting soil microbial activity.
2、 Key advantages: safer for the human body and reduced health risks
Sustainable spray pays more attention to "non-toxic and harmless" in composition and design, especially suitable for long-term contact or sensitive people:
1. Non harmful/allergenic ingredients
Avoid adding formaldehyde emitters, synthetic essence, pigments, heavy metals (such as mercury and lead) and other substances to reduce the damage to skin and respiratory tract - for example, the sustainable moisturizing spray mostly focuses on "natural mineral water+plant essential oil" and is suitable for sensitive muscles; The sustainable household spray has no pungent smell, and can avoid discomfort for children, the elderly or asthma patients.
2. Propellants have no health hazards
If the chemical propellant of traditional spray is leaked, it may accumulate in a confined space (such as a bathroom or a car). Long term inhalation has potential health risks (such as injury to respiratory mucosa). However, environmentally friendly propellants (such as food grade CO ?) or propellant free designs with sustainable spray fundamentally eliminate such hidden dangers and make them more comfortable to use.
3. Edible grade standard (specific category)
For oral spray, fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping spray and other categories related to the "entrance", sustainable products often use edible ingredients (such as natural menthol, plant extracts), even if a small amount is eaten by mistake, it will not cause harm to the human body, and its safety is far higher than that of traditional chemical spray.
3、 Practical advantages: Better user experience, adaptable to diverse scenarios
Sustainable spray does not rely on "environmental protection" only to win. Its design also gives consideration to practicality and convenience, and even surpasses traditional products in experience:
1. Fine atomization, uniform coverage
Most of the sustainable spray use high-pressure micro fog nozzles. The diameter of the spray droplets is smaller (usually 10-50 microns), and there is no "water caking" phenomenon. Whether it is used for skin moisturizing, household cleaning or plant maintenance, it can achieve uniform coverage and reduce waste of ingredients.
2. Long endurance and low usage cost
Some manual pump pressure type sustainable spray does not need to change the gas cylinder frequently, and can be sprayed only by pressing; The spray with environment-friendly propellant has higher propulsion efficiency (10% -20% more times of use than the traditional spray under the same capacity), and can reduce the replacement frequency and cost after long-term use.
3. Strong adaptability to the scene
Because the ingredients are safe and environmentally friendly, sustainable spray can be widely used in scenes with high requirements for "safety", such as disinfection of mother and baby room, deodorization of pet environment, food surface preservation, etc., while traditional spray often needs to avoid these scenes because of chemical substances.
4、 Long term advantages: in line with trends, enhancing the value of enterprises/individuals
From a long-term perspective, selecting or producing sustainable spray can also bring additional value:
Enterprise end: In line with environmental trends, enhance enterprise competitiveness
For enterprises, the introduction of sustainable spray can respond to global trends such as "dual carbon goals" and "green consumption", improve the environmental image of enterprises, attract consumers who pay attention to sustainable development (according to research, more than 60% of the global consumers are willing to pay 5% -15% of the premium for environmental protection products in 2024), and avoid the risk of stricter environmental protection regulations in the future.
Personal end: Practice green living and reduce carbon footprint
For individual users, the use of sustainable spray is the specific embodiment of "low-carbon life". By choosing environmental protection products, it can indirectly reduce the carbon footprint of individuals in the "consumption link" and provide small but important support for environmental sustainable development.
