Blueland, a direct-to-consumer cleaning company, sends refills in tablet form instead of liquid. Customers don't have to buy new bottles every time they need soap. 'As a consumer, I realized that many times I had no choice,' explains Sarah Paiji Yoo, the CEO of Blueland. 'It seemed like everything came packaged in single-use plastic.' Since the company launched in 2018, it says it's saved more than 1 billion plastic cleaning bottles and 60 million square feet of plastic packaging. #PlasticWaste #HomeCleaning #LowWaste #Earth #Environment #Science #NowThis Connect with NowThis » Subscribe to NowThis News: http://go.nowth.is/News_Subscribe » Like us on Facebook: http://go.nowth.is/News_Facebook » Tweet us on Twitter: http://go.nowth.is/News_Twitter » Follow us on Instagram: http://go.nowth.is/News_Instagram » Find us on Snapchat Discover: http://go.nowth.is/News_Snapchat NowThis Earth is daily news coverage of climate, sustainability, biodiversity, species extinction, and environmental justice, and other planetary concerns.
