GOING FOR GREEN
Paul Mulready, Marketing Manager at Northwood Hygiene Products Ltd, explores the benefits of greener production in the Essentials range.
For some customers the absence of a recognised environmentally aware accreditation is a deal breaker when it comes to the supply of disposable washroom and wiping products.
For others outstanding green credentials are, of course, still appreciated, but reality sometimes demands they are viewed as being perhaps less of a priority when high usage volumes dictate that outstanding cost in use performance has to be the prime consideration.
Everyday products that can be used successfully almost everywhere are what both ends of the market need, together with truly competitive pricing. Northwood Hygiene’s Essentials range of tissue has achieved the highest environmental accreditation available for the large scale manufacturing of tissue products.
Most of the products in this wide range are pre-dominantly made from recycled material that has been ethically sourced from reputable mills (most of them Northwood’s own), supplying consistently high quality raw material. An area of forest the size of 1,000 football pitches is left standing every time 30,000 tonnes of recycled material is used instead of pure pulp.
Facts like this have helped contribute to Essentials earning the European Ecolabel accreditation, as has the fact that the sizes of the parent reels from which the final product is manufactured are varied. This is to ensure that each reel meets the requirements of all the differing products in the range so that usage is maximised and wastage minimised. If there are any offcuts, then they are recycled back into the process, so... zero waste!
The Essentials range is a wide one and what it says on the label is what you get. All are classified as being food safe so are a mainstay of the catering and food processing sectors and all meet the CHSA soft tissue standards.
“An area of forest the size of 1,000 football pitches is left standing
every time 30,000 tonnes of recycled material is used.”
Under that universal umbrella of values there is a tremendous range of sizes and types of toilet tissue, hand towels and surface wiping products, along with a complementary range of durable, easy to maintain dispensers, many of which are lockable. This is a very useful attribute for many locations.
So be it catering, healthcare, manufacturing, offices, education, in fact just about anywhere, there is sure to be an essential “Away from Home” tissue product that will deliver a cost efficient and environmentally assured solution to meet the washroom and surface wiping needs.
One last thing you might discover that demonstrates that being truly environmentally responsible is much more than just ticking boxes: Northwood Logistics deliver the Essentials orders have vehicles that are Euro 6 compliant and meet the London Low Emission conditions. They even avoid empty runs!
Now that’s taking being green seriously.
