Product development
We always try to reduce the volume and efficiency of our products.
Astonish 4 IN 1 Non Bio Laundry Liquid has been improved to produce a more concentrated and efficient product. The original formulation would have given the customer 14 standard wash loads whilst the new formulation gives 26 standard wash loads in a 2ltr bottle. Based on Laundry sales for the last 12 months, it would have taken the equivalent of 91 full trailers to distribute the old formulation, compared to 49 lorries with the new formulation.
All of our packaging is fully recyclable and we do not use aerosols
Wherever possible Astonish implements a policy of backhauling for delivery. Instead of sending out our lorries to make deliveries we work closely with our customers to use their lorries which are already out making deliveries to collect stock.
We have worked hard to remove phosphate from our products
Astonish's liquid laundry detergents have undergone a transformation over the last few years and sales have rocketed. As well as being more concentrated all variants are now phosphate free. The old formulation would have used 41 tonnes of phosphate (as sodium tripolyphosphate) over the last 12 months if it had not been redeveloped.
