SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM
Basic Guidelines
PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Sustainable Cleaning Solutions will actively reduce and where possible eliminate the release of any pollutant material that may cause environmental damage to the atmosphere, water and land which in turn reduces the effect on all animals and humans.
Sustainable Cleaning Solutions are continually designing products that rate at readily biodegradable standards which in turn minimises the effect on the following areas, greenhouse effect, ozone layer depletion, and surface degradation. .
Successes To Date
Sustainable Cleaning Solutions has researched and developed over 40 products that are continually replacing the old style petroleum base cleaners
Sustainable Cleaning Solutions have no CFC products and many of our disinfectants include new less hazardous technology.
Sustainable Cleaning Solutions continues to rely less on phosphates and our greener choice range of products are all phosphate free and readily biodegradable to the Australian Standard.
Sustainable Cleaning Solutions has now developed far safer water purifiers and sanitisers that are extremely lower in hazards and far safer to use.
Sustainable Cleaning Solutions products have a defined dilution rate and usage at this rate will complete the clean and reduce the amount of product required.
Our forward planning is also a key performer in reducing water and power usage by insuring where possible we make only one batch per month than possibly doing 2 or 3 times the same product.
Sustainable Cleaning Solutions and its manufacturing arm continue to expand into recycling packaging where ever possible. This has resulted in a drum collection program where we recycle drums at our recycling wash plant. Approximately 80% of our 200lt and 1000lt containers are recycled.
Sustainable Cleaning Solutions manufacturing partner collects up to 80000 thousand litres of rain water (when possible) for use in its manufacturing. Our plant also has a water recycling plant of our own where wash water can be treated and to reduce the usage of fresh water.
Sustainable Cleaning Solutions continue to develop cleaning product that effectively clean in low temperatures while still achieving sanitation and acceptable cleaning standards. This obviously assist our customers in reducing their own energy amounts which in turn benefits all.
