Eco Friendly
AF INTERNATIONAL - For the environment conscious
A
F International, leading manufacturer of office cleaning products, recognises its responsibility to reduce
the impact its products have on the environment and so launches various ‘Green’ initiatives.
AF International’s first extensive range of environmentally-friendly re-fill packs for existing and popular product
ranges such as Phone-Clene, PC-Clene, Interactive White Board wipes and Screen-Clene are now available.
This new range has been developed to encourage end-users to make more environmentally aware
purchasing choices and save on packaging waste. Marketing Manager Karen Harrison comments: “We are a
society that now cares about the environment around us and AF International recognises this. At AF we are
constantly investigating ways to improve the environmental performance of our products as well as operating the
business in a more ecologically sound manner. As an ethical corporation we believe this to be our social responsibility.”
Another prime example of AF’s green credentials is the Multi-Screen Clene. It is one of the most
environmentally-friendly screen-cleaning products on the market today as
it is free of harmful gases. However this does not mean performance has
been compromised, as the pump-action valve generates pressure which then
pushes the cleaning fluid out - just like an aerosol, but without the CFCs.
The pump-action bottle itself can be refilled to save on packaging waste.
AF is headquartered in Derbyshire, just inside The National Forest.
Showing commitment to taking care of the local environment, AF is
supporting the forest to help towards reducing carbon dioxide in Britain’s
atmosphere. Planting and protecting trees and shrubs helps remove carbon
dioxide from the atmosphere as plants break down the gas during photosynthesis.
Ron Jakeman, Managing Director of AF International, says, “We have planted in The
National Forest yet again this year and hope to continue to support this initiative well into the future. As
cities expand into green belt land it is important that our forests are protected and expand, and we at AF are proud to be
able to contribute to the sustaining of such an important environmental site.”
AF’s environmental policy, as well as Health and Safety Date Sheets for the range, can be downloaded from the website.
