We are pleased to announce an asset acquisition of the Trim Brush line of cleaning scrubbers and brushes.  This asset acquisition by Sapona Plastics will not include the file brush business which will continue to be manufactured by and under the Trim Brush Company Inc. name.

"Sapona Plastics has long been our production contractor for this business segment and will continue to produce the same products under Sapona Plastics' ownership." according to Dianne and Bruce Carton of Trim Brush Company.

In this asset acquisition, Sapona Plastics will assume the production assets and all responsibilities for sales and marketing effective 1/8/2025.  The asset transfer will include licenses to brands and other IP rights, as well as all rights to molds, production equipment and related items utilized in production of the scrubbers and brushes. 

This asset acquisition will allow continued production in the USA and supply to customers in North America.  We look forward to providing customers with the same high level of product quality and service previously provided by Trim Brush Company.

Regards,

Choose plastic-free personal care products: Personal care products are a major source of microplastics, which get washed into the oceans straight from our bathrooms. Look for plastic-free face wash, day cream, makeup, deodorant, shampoo and other products.

Dress Sustainably: The fashion industry produces 20 per cent of global wastewater and 10 per cent of global carbon emissions. That’s more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. “Fast fashion” is so last year. Consider sustainable clothing lines, vintage shops and repair your clothes when possible.

Be an advocate for change: Ask your local supermarkets, restaurants and local suppliers to ditch plastic packaging, refuse plastic cutlery and straws, and tell them why. Pressure your local authorities to improve how they manage waste.

Travel Sustainably: When you are on holiday, try to watch your single-use plastic intake. Refuse miniature bottles in hotel rooms, take your own reusable drinking bottle and use reef-safe sunscreen, without microplastics.

Try a Zero-Waste Lifestyle: Become a zero-waste champion. Invest in sustainable, ocean-friendly products- reusable coffee mugs, water bottles and food wraps. Consider options like menstrual cups, bamboo toothbrushes and shampoo bars. These will help you save money and the ocean too.

Shop Sustainably: Next time you are out shopping, choose food with no plastic packaging, carry a reusable bag, buy local products, and refill containers to reduce your plastic waste and effect on the environment.

Clean a River: Rivers are direct pathways of plastic debris into the ocean. Join a river clean-up or do your own! The river will look nicer and benefit its ecosystem and the ocean.

Clean a Beach: If you live near a coastline, join beach clean-ups in your area. Or take your family along on a beach walk and start your own clean-up.

There are also has a number of actions that the plastic industry can take to accelerate this systematic change:

They can eliminate problematic or unnecessary plastic packaging or products by redesigning products for enhanced sustainability and innovating their business models to move from single use to reusable plastic products. They should provide reliable and transparent sustainability information so consumers can make informed purchases. They can also increase the use of recycled content in new products in order to circulate plastic in the economy.
