1.      The global use of toilet tissue equates to 270,000 trees flushed down our drains daily (1). Worse still, thousands of tonnes of chlorine are used to bleach it. So why not switch to recycled, unbleached toilet tissue and paper towel? Check out recycled Toilet tissue on NetXpress here.

 

2.      Every year more than 6 million tonnes of rubbish is dumped in the world’s oceans(2). Since 80% of this waste is plastic it makes a lot of sense to reduce your plastic waste by utilising refillable containers. Better still, because you’ll now be buying cleaning products in bulk you’ll be enjoying an economic advantage too. Look at our bulk cleaning product range

 

3.      Conventional plastic bags take up to 1,000 years to break down whereas biodegradable ones can fully degrade within 6 months(3). So switch to biodegradable plastic bags and bin liners today.

 

4.      Many cleaning products contain harsh chemicals which aren’t good for our health. By using natural germicides you’ll be doing the best both by your staff and the environment. Tea Tree Hand Wash is a great alternative to conventional products.

 

5.      Prevention is better than cure. So stop dirt getting inside in the first place by placing dirt absorbing recycled mats at entrances. Our mats, for example, are made form 100% recycled tyres and bottles.

 

6.      Bathrooms can use a lot of water and that can have a real impact on the environment. But you can make a difference simply by using Bio Blocks in your urinals. They replace flushing with natural bacteria that consume germs and urea, so they save thousands of litres of water a year. There is a range of products available here.
