The eco-friendly invention eliminates the need for plastic containers for fluid; it allows choosing among several types of solutions ? winter, summer, non-allergenic, scented, etc.

'The international jury appreciated the environmental impact of giving up PET plastic canisters currently used for windshield washer fluids. Many drivers throw away these plastic containers and do not recycle them, thus contributing to pollution,' the engineer told AGERPRES.

According to the inventor, his 'Good Fill' system is especially beneficial to companies that own large car fleets.

Birtok Baneasa mentioned the help of the Romanian Embassy to Switzerland and of the National Authority for Scientific Research and Innovation, whom he thanked for the support to the Romanian delegation at the Geneva event.

More than 1,000 inventions competed at the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva from April 15 to 19; Romania proposed 25. AGERPRES
