Eliminating single-use plastics
By replacing pre-diluted 750ml trigger spray bottles with sustainable powder sachets for our core cleaning products, we have achieved an impressive 88% reduction in plastic consumption. Additionally, this shift has led to a 75% decrease in average CO2 emissions and transportation costs.
Eco-Friendly Solutions
We've dramatically reduced plastic use and CO2 emissions by switching to sustainable powder sachets and sourcing washroom paper products from eco-conscious suppliers. Our commitment extends to procuring 100% recycled refuse sacks and transitioning to SoluDose™ soluble cleaning sachets for waste reduction.
Electric Fleet Transition
Aiming for a fully electric fleet by the end of 2024, we're making tangible progress in reducing our carbon emissions, with 90% of our vehicles already electric.
Sustainable Procurement
Our supply chain is predominantly UK-based, reducing transportation impacts and supporting local businesses. This includes sourcing eco-friendly uniforms, PPE, and equipment.
