At the Australian Institute of Packaging) National Conference in Queensland the Frosch Recyclate Initiative received the WorldStar Packaging Award in the "Household" category for its development of bottles made of 100 percent HDPE recyclates. In 2016 Frosch parent company, Werner & Mertz, together with bottle producer Alpla-Werke Alwin Lehner and the Green Dot, developed the world's first bottle of 100 percent HDPE recyclates from collected waste plastic.  Since then most bottles for those product lines have been converted to rHDPE, that is food grade HDPE bottles. At Frosch we passionately believe that plastic should be re-used.  It is a valuable raw...

A number of recent scientific studies on the dangers of volatile chemicals in cleaning products have been making the headlines.  It's worth reading-up on what these studies have found and what you can do to protect your family's health.   At Frosch we have long held the view that it's not just what chemicals we release into the environment that should be of concern, but also what we release into our own homes.  Children and pets will be in close proximity with floors and other surfaces, coming into contact with the chemicals we use to clean, but airborne particles should also be of concern, as these...

Some of the contents of the film are now well-documented, such the floating island of plastic debris in the Pacific Ocean more than twice the size...

Recycling is a very good thing, but we don't recycle as much as we could.  The Recyclate Initiative wants to change that.At Frosch we have been producing cleaning products with an environmental conscience since 1986.  We take our environmental responsibility seriously and continue to improve the cleaning ability and environmental credentials of our products.
