ISTANBUL POSTPONED RAI Amsterdam, ISSA and their local partner UBM, have announced that the ISSA/Interclean Istanbul exhibition, originally scheduled for 7-9 September 2016, has been moved to 18-20 October, 2017. After careful deliberation the organisation has made the decision to postpone the event, citing the rising concerns from exhibitors and visitors regarding travel in and out of the country as the chief motive.
“We are deeply committed to the
Eurasian market and to working with the Turkish cleaning industry,” said Bas Dalm, Senior Vice President International Exhibitions & Sales at RAI
RENDALL & RITTNER FORM NEW ECO PARTNERSHIP WITH DELPHIS ECO, SAVING
477 TONS OF CO2 EMISSIONS
Residential managing agent Rendall & Rittner has unveiled it will save an estimated 477 tons of CO2 emissions each year after partnering with ecological cleaning company, Delphis Eco.
The company that manages 44,000 units across London decided to change all its cleaning products to the plant-based cleaning solution, which reduced the number of different cleaning products staff used by 40%, which in turn reduced the company’s environmental impact in line with its sustainable policy.
Directors at Rendall & Rittner switched to Delphis Eco’s product range after a successful pilot scheme at three of its developments. Rendall & Rittner also took the bold step of mandating its supply chain to use the products, with one cleaning contractor saving £6,000 per year by converting to Delphis Eco.

Cleaning staff and contractors are happy with the switch. During the trial programme 98% of those surveyed said they felt the new products were better or the same as the incumbent ones. It also proved that Rendall & Rittner could reduce its chemical spend and save its customers a total of £50,000 per year.
Rendall & Rittner Director, Catherine Riva, said: “We recognised that switching to ecological cleaning products would work in-line with our sustainability policy. This project has enhanced our approach to sustainability, not just through our company but across our supply chain. We wanted to make our suppliers aware of the products and show them the benefits of going green. This successful partnership has shown that we can play a proactive role in managing sustainable developments by asking those we work with to follow our lead.”
Amsterdam. “However, our exhibitors and attendees have expressed concern regarding their participation at this event, and we believe it is prudent to respect their decisions and find a more opportune time to bring the industry together.”
“Eurasia, and specifically Istanbul,
remain strong regions of activity for the professional cleaning and hygiene industry, and we plan to continue to support the region, including our local partners at TESHIAD. Therefore, we are pleased to have found alternative dates for the event next year in Istanbul,” said John Barrett, ISSA Executive Director.
“We look forward to hosting a truly
international event in 2017 along the calibre that people have come
Mark Jankovich, CEO at Delphis Eco added: “We are solely focused on green issues and when we were approached by Rendall & Rittner we knew that we could work with them to reduce the amount of products that they were using, save them money and decrease their CO2
emissions.
“All of our products are shipped in concentrate form to reduce transport and carbon miles. But that’s the tip of the iceberg when it comes to sustainability.
“This project with Rendall & Rittner is a great example of one company influencing their supply chain to make that green step change. It has forged the way for other FM companies to use ecological products and we would love to see more companies taking the lead.”
Rendall & Rittner will work with Delphis Eco to set up a further pilot scheme later this year to introduce residents at its developments to the product. Residents will be able to make use of the cleaning products that they can refill using refill stations onsite.
Other sustainability initiatives at Rendall & Rittner include: time, motion-sensored low energy lighting, recycling schemes and operating a Green Office Policy.
