Why Now?

Before COVID-19, the global liquid/gel soap and sanitizer market was estimated to be worth more than $20 billion annually. Since COVID-19, people are more focused on health and hygiene – and as such, the sales for liquid soaps and sanitizers have sky-rocketed. Some market analysts predict that it will exceed $30-35 billion in the coming years.   

It is estimated that, in the first half of 2020, between more than 20 MILLION pump bottles were thrown away. Many of these ended up in landfills, incinerators, and in our lakes, river, and oceans. Compounding the problem, reports indicate that only 9-15% of plastics produced are recycled. The plastics industry line is “plastics are not the problem, people not recycling is.” That is a half-truth at best. The reality is that plastics ARE part of the problem. It is also true that a lack of proper recycling AND over-consumption compound the problem even more.

We see pump dispensers everywhere, from the home and office to just about every cafe, coffee shop, retailer, shopping mall, and commercial establishment. Every school, hospital, temple or church, and any major transit service, has them widely available. It is so ubiquitous that consumers now expect stores and businesses to have them installed. They are not going away any time soon, and neither is the plastic.

Most pump dispenser output is 2-4 times the amount actually needed. This automatic over-consumption is what many manufacturers want. User more, buy more and increase their profits. Eco Klips may help reduce output from 15-60% saving you money while helping the environment.
