Go Green with Your Windshield Wipers
Posted by Everblades on 7th May 2014
We all try to be environmentally aware and responsible, but this is especially difficult when it comes to your vehicle. Short of buying a new hybrid or electric car, it can seem like there’s not much the average person can do to reduce their vehicles environmental footprint. Choosing a silicone windshield wiper blade, like Everblades, over a standard rubber wiper is an eco-friendly decision any driver can make.
Lower Waste with Silicone Windshield Wipers
Because silicone wiper blades are more durable and last longer than rubber windshield wipers, they create less waste. Did you know silicone windshield wipers can last up to three times longer than standard wipers? Silicone is specifically designed to be more resistant to cold temperatures, high heat and the natural elements your windshield wipers are exposed to every day. Rubber wiper blades deteriorate faster, therefore needing to be replaced more often and creating more waste.
Recyclable Wiper Blades
Silicone wiper blades are the more environmentally friendly solution for your windshield. It takes 8 lbs. of crude oil to make 1 lb. of the rubber used to create standard blades. Rubber wiper blades cannot be recycled easily and do not break down when thrown away at the end of their short lifespan. Wiper blades made with silicone, on the other hand, can be recycled - no petroleum is used to make them. A silicone blade will eventually break down, back into sand, causing no harm to the environment.
