Bosch Aerotwin Wiper Blades Now with plastic-free packaging As part of its global sustainability strategy, Bosch now replaced the plastic components of the Aerotwin wiper blade packaging by a material based on wood fibres. These moulded fibres now replace the PET plastic previously used. Bosch places high demands on its product packaging. Bosch Aerotwin flat wiper blades feature a wiper lip ensuring highly effective wind-shield cleaning – even under extreme weather conditions. This delicate wiper lip must be carefully protected during transport. Therefore, the packaging includes a card-board tray holding the wiper blades in position and protecting the wiper lip from damage. Previously, a plastic blister was used for this purpose, but now for both Bosch Aerotwin sets and single wipers, moulded fibres are used to provide the necessary protection, meaning that the entire packaging can now be recycled as wastepaper.

		Save money on windscreen damage - repair, don’t replace. If you’re running a bus or truck fleet, you know that chips or cracks in your windscreen can lead to a costly replacement screen, as well as all the time off the road while the replacement takes place. With Esprit Windscreen repair, you can repair your screen for a fraction of the cost of a replacement, in about 20 minutes. Repairs are easy to carry out and our mobile enabled Esprit training video is freely available on our website. The Esprit system restores the original strength of the screen, and the Esprit kit is the only system that has passed the rigorous standards set down by TUV Rheinland meaning that you can really trust that your repair will be strong and clear for the life of the screen. We also offer in person training in Staffordshire, or we can come to you for a bespoke training session. Want more information on the best Esprit kit for your needs?
