Recycle Week is an annual event that raises awareness about the importance of recycling and encourages individuals to make sustainable choices in their daily lives. While recycling is a crucial part of reducing our environmental impact, it’s equally important to consider the products we use in our homes.

One way to do this is by choosing eco-friendly cleaning products that are not only effective but also better for the environment. In this article, we’ll explore four eco cleaning products that are worth investing in during Recycle Week.

The Importance of Recycling in the Contract Cleaning Industry

Recycling plays a pivotal role in the contract cleaning industry for several compelling reasons:

  • Sustainability & Environmental Responsibility: By recycling materials like paper, cardboard, plastics, and glass, contract cleaning companies not only reduce their own ecological footprint but also set an example for their clients and the communities they serve.
  • Cost Savings: Recycling can lead to cost savings by reducing waste disposal expenses and minimising the need for new, resource-intensive products.
  • Green Reputation: Recycling enhances the industry’s reputation as a green and socially responsible sector, attracting eco-conscious clients and fostering a positive public image. Moreover, recycling in the contract cleaning industry can lead to the development of eco-friendly cleaning products and practices, further promoting a healthier and more sustainable environment.

Enhanced Recycling: 4 Eco Cleaning Products to Cut Down Plastic Waste

These environmentally friendly alternatives provide cleaning organisations with practical solutions for reducing plastic waste, fostering environmental responsibility, and paving the way for a cleaner, greener future for both the sector and the planet.

Triple 8 Dose Range

Concentrated cleaning chemicals are a game-changer in the contract cleaning industry when it comes to recycling and reducing plastic waste. By using concentrated formulas, cleaning companies can significantly decrease the volume of plastic packaging required for their products.

This not only cuts down on plastic waste but also reduces transportation-related emissions, making it a more eco-friendly and cost-effective solution. Moreover, these concentrated chemicals are often more efficient, requiring less product per cleaning task, which ultimately conserves resources and minimises the overall environmental impact of the contract cleaning industry.

We recommend using the Triple 8 Dose range of concentrated chemicals to tackle this issue. These fast acting and low-foaming chemicals offer a long-lasting solution. Concentrated chemicals are superior due to their reduced plastic waste, lower transportation emissions, and increased efficiency in cleaning, making them an environmentally and economically sound choice.

Reusable Ecofibre Cloths & Scouring Pads

Reusable fibre cloths are instrumental in the contract cleaning industry’s efforts to reduce waste and promote recycling. These cloths, designed for multiple uses, minimise the need for disposable wipes and paper towels, significantly cutting down on waste.

Their durability not only reduces the environmental impact but also proves to be a cost-effective, sustainable solution, aligning perfectly with the industry’s commitment to eco-friendly practices.

Our Ecofibre cloths and scouring pads offer the same cleaning effectiveness as conventional microfibre with the additional environmental benefit of being made from recycled plastic bottles. They are both recyclable and reusable and can be washed up to 200 times.

Numatic ECO Vacuum

Eco vacuum cleaners play a vital role in the contract cleaning industry’s recycling efforts by utilising energy-efficient technologies and reusable filters. These vacuum cleaners consume less electricity, reducing the overall environmental footprint of the cleaning process.

We recommend using the Numatic ECO Vacuum ERP 180 as it has the most efficiency eco motor, reducing the energy usage by 30% while still achieving the same expert, high-performance cleaning results. Moreover, it is made from up to 75% recycled plastic.

Fenton ECO Z fold Hand Towels

Incorporating eco recycled hand towels in the contract cleaning industry is a powerful strategy for cutting down waste and encourage recycling. These towels are often made from post-consumer materials, diverting waste from landfills, and reducing the demand for new resources.

Our Fenton ECO Z-fold Hand Towels are not only made from 100% recycled materials but are 100% plastic free and biodegradable.

By choosing this sustainable alternative, you would not only promote responsible recycling practices but also cut down on the production of disposable paper towels, thus mitigating waste and environmental impact.
