As environmental awareness grows globally, choosing eco-friendly products has become increasingly important. This principle applies to all aspects of our daily lives, including the car parts we use regularly. Windshield wipers are no exception. In this blog, we'll discuss the eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes for wipers and introduce how DrSilica is committed to reducing its environmental impact.
1. Environmental Impact of Traditional Wipers
Traditional wipers are usually made of synthetic rubber and metal. The production of synthetic rubber releases a significant amount of CO2 and other harmful substances. Additionally, its non-biodegradable nature makes it a long-term pollutant in landfills. The production and processing of metal parts also have an environmental footprint.
2. The Importance of Eco-Friendly Materials
Choosing wipers made from eco-friendly materials can reduce environmental damage and make it easier to dispose of these products at the end of their life. This is why DrSilica uses recyclable silicone rubber to manufacture its wiper blades.
