Choosing the Tea Natura "Ri-detersivo" means:

• For every Kg of post-consumer oils, 17 Kg of ready-to-use detergent are obtained, therefore a highly impactful and polluting waste such as used oil is Re-Used and Re-Employed making it 100% biodegradable;
• Reduction of costs for the recovery and disposal of used oils;
• Double use of a vegetable raw material of agricultural origin;
• Lower imports of Coconut Oil from third countries;
• Reduction of CO2 released into the atmosphere.

How to use : Rub onto the wet item to be treated and rub well, then rinse. For difficult stains, the soap can be used by rubbing it into the stain before machine washing.

The Ri-detersivo line , which today includes four different products with detergents for cleaning the house and with other recycled materials such as wood ash, was born from Tea Natura's desire to combine the concept of Ecological with that of Sustainable, creating what is called Circular Economy. In fact, the waste of post-consumer cooking oils (used by members of the Ancona Solidarity Purchasing Groups) is given back the dignity of raw material by transforming them into a biodegradable surfactant . All this allows us to eliminate the problems that these waste oils would cause if dispersed in the environment, and to avoid fats of non-European origin (palm, coconut, etc.) to create the surfactant.

Currently 7 tons of post-consumer oils in the guise of a non-biodegradable product have become approximately 25 tons of detergent that degrades completely and rapidly: 25,000 bottles, equal to 550,000 washing machines.

The bottles used for the Ri-Detersivo line are also made of Braskem Bio-Plastic : a polymer obtained from ethanol produced from sugar cane which eliminates the costs in terms of weight of CO2 released into the environment.
