Objective Action

Our goal was to be able to find out how we could contribute your company, for our part, to protect our customers and society from the new Pandemic . . . That's why we manufactured some disposable products, where they make us feel comfortable and confident that where we touch or sit is completely clean. 

So we created a new range of products, from Achaiki Plastics S.A., concerning disposable covers, for the sunbeds of the beach (since we had before us in the summer when the Pandemic began, and since our beaches would be full, with or without pandemic ... we started from this !!!

Then covers we designed disposable covers for seats and armchairs in barbershops and hairdressers.

The next action was the design and production of disposable plastic branches for the seats in the dental rooms, where you also need a patient to sit and be sure that they are clean and have not been touched by anyone else before him.

 

Target Audience

These products, Covid -19 Protection Ideas and Solutions ready to Use, from Achaiki Plastics S.A., concern the protection of the entire population with very economical products designed exclusively for the safety of the transmission of the viruse.

Safe Sun bed cover is disposable rolls for the whole family who wants to use the sunbeds of the beach, but it is quite difficult for them to clean them every time they go for a swim ... with this disposable plastic case, he can put it on the sunbed and be sure that no one else has touched it....

The protection chair cover, concerns hairdressers, barbershops, dental clinics, beauty centers and more. With these covers there is absolute security for where the patient or customer will touch respectively....

There is of course in this series also disposable plastic aprons, and disposable plastic gloves, and protective shields, where we put in our production process due to pandemic, but these products were on the market, and we did not design them to have the patents.

 

Duration

To implement the project it took a lot of time and working hours, over 4 months it took to produce the first product designed for sunbeds.

With great will, and several months we used to design and adapt our machines for the production of the rest of the products in our company ACHAIKA PLASTICS S.A. and we continue to impruvit until today .... 


Description

We noticed that from the beginning of the Pandemic, within the cleaning protocols of our company was the daily morning cleaning of the office chair that we sit ourselves .... In the chair of our office no one else is sitting, but in the new cleaning protocols of our company it was mandatory, apart from everything else, the cleanliness of our chair.... So we thought about how important it is to find a way, to clean the chairs and more generally the places that a lot of people sit..... such as sunbeds ... or even the car seats when we take them to a parking lot and someone else comes in to sit down... we noticed that in every chair in dental clinics, in barbershops, in beauty salons, they sit, touch and come into contact with too many people during the day.

So we looked with our team, and we designed how all these types of chair - armchair - sunbed etc could be covered with a plastic cover that fits into each chair and is disposable.

So we started designing disposable covers.
