The Business Benefits of Eco-Friendly Facilities Supplies
At Heatons, we offer eco-friendly facilities supplies to help businesses reduce their environmental footprint. By choosing reusable and recyclable products, businesses can cut down on expenses and contribute to a greener future.
These days more businesses are seeking ways to reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining efficiency and cost-effectiveness. At Heatons, we’re here to support this shift by offering eco-friendly facilities supplies that help organisations meet their sustainability goals
As a business, we work closely with our clients to help them improve efficiency, reduce wastage, and minimise environmental impact. One way in which we do this is through our eco-friendly facilities supply offering. Sustainable facilities and cleaning supplies are increasingly commonplace and are essential for businesses wanting to reduce their environmental footprint. Our range of eco-friendly products offers both sustainability and cost savings, supporting your commitment to a greener future.
Our Sustainable Approach
Embedded throughout our entire business and daily working practices is an ESG policy designed to help preserve and protect our natural environment. Here at Heatons, we maintain an almost entirely hybrid/electric fleet, recycle 100% of all paper and toner we use, and continuously review delivery routes to reduce our carbon footprint. This year, we were also delighted to again be awarded the gold standard across all areas of the Weaver Social Sustainability Programme. Developed by Office Friendly, Weaver helps businesses implement sustainable practices related to:
- Carbon footprint
- Waste management
- Single-use packaging
- Social responsibility
Eco-Friendly Cleaning
When it comes to cleaning chemicals, eco-friendly variants tend to be *ahem* cleaner in composition. Traditional cleaning products often release harmful chemicals and toxins during use and disposal, posing risks to both the environment and human health. Eco-friendly alternatives minimise these pollutants, reducing respiratory and allergic reactions. Innovations in eco-friendly cleaning, such as with the PVA cleaning sachet range, have also eliminated the need for single-use plastic bottles. PVA sachets contain concentrated powder that dissolves in water. Simply mix the two together in your cleaning bottle and you’re ready to go. This not only reduces storage requirements but also minimises plastic waste through the reuse of your bottle and the powder sachets being 100% biodegradable, recyclable, and compostable.
Benefits To Your Business
From a business perspective, sustainable products offer more than just environmental benefits. Eco-friendly practices not only contribute to preserving the planet, but when effectively implemented, can enhance your brand reputation too. Today’s consumers, employees, and investors are increasingly choosing companies with a genuine commitment to sustainability. Incorporating sustainable practices into your daily activity may tip the balance in your favour when it comes to winning people over.
Beyond environmental benefits, sustainable procurement is often more cost-effective in the long term. There was once a belief that eco-friendly products were more expensive than their traditional counterparts. But nowadays, that’s simply not the case. By choosing reusable, recyclable, or longer-lasting products, businesses can cut down on supply costs, storage needs, and waste disposal expenses.
Reduce. Reuse. Recyle.
If you were to visit one of our sites, you’ll find that we use eco products wherever possible. For example, the Lucart EcoNatural range of the dispensers, toilet rolls, and hand towels are installed in our bathrooms and kitchens across all three of our sites. Made from recycled beverage cartons, Lucart separates their components to generate new raw materials for their products. Through our use of EcoNatural products alone, between May 23-24 we recovered over 650,000 beverage cartons from landfill and saved over 250 trees.
Here at Heatons Group, we want to play a crucial role in helping organisations meet their environmental goals. By supporting businesses in selecting, sourcing, and implementing sustainable facilities and cleaning supplies we’re here to empower you to meet your sustainability targets. With our expertise and commitment to make a difference, optimise your procurement process for long-term cost savings that fit both environmental and budgetary requirements.
