World Oceans Day is celebrated every year on June 8th, the Anniversary Day of the World Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, and it provides an opportunity to reflect on how to protect the planet’s seas and the need to interact with them in a sustainable way. To mark this day, starting from June 8th, Santini is launching two products on their website to make cyclists’ and athletes’ laundry eco-friendly.
Power Clean Sport: the biodegradable detergent for sports garments
To wash sports garments in a sustainable way, Santini, the Italian company that produces cycling and triathlon technical apparel, has relied on Surfchimica Srl, the company that develops products for laundries with a focus on environmental sustainability, to create a specific detergent solution. The result is Power Clean Sport, a completely biodegradable detergent made without dyes and phosphates that provides sustainable washing as well as ensuring that garments are kept in an optimal state.
In addition, Power Clean Sport is nickel and phosphates free and contains no skin irritants. It is a hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested eco-friendly detergent.
Power Clean Sport is on sale at www.santinicycling.com at a retail price of 12.00 euros.
GUPPYFRIEND® washing bags: a farewell to microplastics
Since sports garments are made of synthetic fabrics, when they are washed, they lose microplastic particles that inevitably end up in wastewater. These microparticles enter the sea, where they can be eaten by marine animals and fishes. A solution to this problem is offered by Guppyfriend® washing bags, which Santini will sell on their website along with Power Clean Sport detergent.
Guppyfriend® special textile weave bags, inside which garments will be placed during washing, reduces fiber breakage, protect garments, and retain plastic fibers that are caught in them and can later be thrown in the plastic recycling box.
Guppyfriend® bags will be on sale at a suggested retail price of 30 euros at www.santinicycling.com from June 8th.
By purchasing both products together, you will get a 10% discount for the day of June 8th only.
