Green Tip: Concentrate

Concentrated formulas (of laundry detergent, window cleaner, juice) not only save you cash, but also mean less packaging and energy use.

• A regular, 50 oz bottle of Tide costs about $6. But for just $3 more, you can get the 2X concentrated bottle and wash twice as many loads - effectively saving you $3.
• If the entire "consumer liquids" market changed from unconcentrated to 2X concentrated formulas, annually it'd keep 141.1 million pounds of plastic out of production. Plus, smaller bottles means more room under your sink.
• Since bigger bottles and more liquid take more energy to transport, if we changed over to 2X concentrate we'd save 19 million gallons of diesel fuel per year.
