Media: EcoTank saved the environment from 5 tons of plastic packaging 

Bratislava, January 25, 2018 - The ecological equipment for top-up windscreen washer fluid in the pilot year 2017 was used by many Slovak motorists at selected filling stations and saved the environment from around 5 tons of plastic packaging. EcoTank has shown its importance in reducing the negative environmental impact of poorly degradable plastic materials.

EcoTank, the Slovak technological solution, saved the planet from about 5 tons of plastic packaging by replacing classic plastic containers during its pilot period, which started in the Bratislava area. The network of petrol stations where it is available was expanded to 11 Slovak towns: Dubnica nad Váhom, Makov, Milhost, Považská Bystrica, Prešov, Trstice, Turany, Smižany, Stropkov, Šamorín and Vranov nad Topľou.

Motorists have been able to use EcoTank units at Slovak filling stations since June 2017. They are installed at selected petrol stations next to fuel dispensers. A self-service tank gun allows easy and convenient liquid refilling for windscreen washing.

“This is a success that has already exceeded our expectations. First of all, it is a great signal from the general public. We would like to thank all the motorists who have preferred our convenient and environmentally friendly solution at petrol stations. We believe that motorists appreciate the benefits of EcoTank, and so does the environment,” said Juraj Saktor, co-inventor of the EcoTank technological solution.
