Transportation
Posted by smculp on November 9, 2008
The production and selling of aerosol air fresheners requires a lot of transportation. First, the materials to produce the cans must be sent to aluminum production companies, located usually in California, the Great Lakes, the Northwest, or the Ohio River Valley. Then the cans are transported to the air freshener manufacturers. Febreze’s manufacturer, Procter and Gamble, is located in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Glade’s manufacturer, SC Johnson, Inc, is located in Wisconsin. The finished products then travel all around the nation to stores, where people buy them and transport them to their homes. Lastly, if the consumer chooses to recycle, the can must be transported to a recycling plant. For more information on metal recycling plants, click here: Metals.
The ingredients inside the aerosol air fresheners also contribute to environmental pollution. For more information on the ingredients, read my posts on air freshener ingredients.
