Encouraging Sustainability, Building Trust, and Introducing the Next Generation of Eco-Friendly Detailing Products Exclusively from IGL Coatings.

IGL Coatings, the pioneer in eco-friendly, sustainable automotive detailing products, introduces its “Green Swap” Product Bottle Exchange Programme. This green initiative invites car enthusiasts, detailers and industry professionals to swap up and exchange any of their empty, cleaned bottles of any brand’s detailing products for a complimentary IGL Coatings product.

This initiative is a bold step toward reducing plastic waste and promoting a circular economy within the automotive sector. Launching at AutoMechanika Frankurt 2024 in commemoration of IGL’s maiden appearance at the world’s leading trade fair for the automotive service industry.

Driving Change Through Responsible Consumption

The Green Swap by IGL Coatings is a call to action for the automotive community to participate in a global effort to reduce waste and embrace sustainable practices. Through the trade of old bottles, IGL aims to reduce plastic pollution, encouraging responsible disposal and recycling of automotive detailing waste.

“We see this programme as a tangible way to engage our customers in the fight against environmental degradation,” said Keong Chun Chieh, CEO and Founder of IGL Coatings. “It’s about creating a movement where every small action—like recycling a single bottle—contributes towards a much larger impact.”

Recycle and Renew @ AutoMechanika Frankfurt

The IGL Product Bottle Exchange Programme accelerates into action at Booth A74, Hall 12, inviting all attendees to make a real difference through their actions. Simply bring any empty, clean, and recyclable plastic bottle from your automotive detailing products—whether it’s a quick detailer, coating, or sealant—and trade it in for a complimentary 100ml IGL Coatings product of the day. From sustainable cleaners to water spot removers and many more products, it’s a simple yet effortless way to contribute to a greener planet while experiencing the future of eco-friendly detailing.

Additionally, on the topic of sustainability, Keong speaks on “The Crucial Role of Sustainability in the Automotive Detailing Industry and Its Impact on Detailers and Their Business” at Booth 70, Hall 12 on Tuesday, 10 September 2024 at 1 pm.

Join Keong for an in-depth exploration how embracing sustainable practices can drive positive environmental change and unlock new opportunities for growth and profitability in your detailing business. This is a must-attend session for anyone looking to stay ahead in an evolving industry.

Small Actions Towards Lasting Impact

With the programme, IGL seeks to ignite a movement where even the smallest actions contribute to a larger, lasting impact. Every bottle exchanged is a step towards a more sustainable future, proving that change begins with mindful choices.

“The Green Swap is more than just a recycling initiative; it’s a catalyst for a wave of transformation,” says Fiona Chin, Marketing Director at IGL Coatings. “Like ripples in a pond, our goal is to inspire action —however small—knowing that each ripple can grow into a tidal wave of positive change.”
