COVER STORY
PROTECTING THE PLANET DOESN’T NEED TO COST THE EARTH
After moving into the UK market five years ago, InnuScience has started to make a name for itself as a sustainability-conscious supplier of cleaning products. Here we find out a bit more about the company and how it has established itself in the UK.
PERCEPTION VS. REALITY A common perception in the cleaning industry is that to enhance product quality, and specifically, to ensure the greenest products possible, product costs will need to increase. This is a major challenge against an industry backdrop that is dominated by diminishing budgets and the need to reduce costs.
InnuScience understands this balance and prides themselves on being able to demonstrate real life performance improvement and conformance to industry standards, whilst actually reducing the end-users chemical product spend. Add this to their “Excellence as Standard” customer service ethos and it is clear to see why so many are choosing InnuScience.
BIO-EXPERIENCE Over the last 22 years, InnuScience have taken up this challenge head on. Their aim is to be planet-conscious in creating environmentally responsible, practical, biological products for the “real world” cleaning challenges and compete like for like on costings with the major chemical brands available today.
With this heritage and R&D investment in biological cleaning products, and three state of the art innovation laboratories in Montreal, the company continues to develop high performance, planet- conscious and price competitive new products, sought after by the industry.
LOCAL PRODUCTION InnuScience moved into the UK market in 2010 and has already made a significant impact on the market,
thanks to being chosen as the bio partner of Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies. The company also started local production this year and its products are now used in over 10,000 sites throughout the UK, including some of the most prestigious public sector contracts, retailers, stations, airports and commercial buildings. InnuScience are at the forefront of demonstrating that non-chemical actives can produce an excellent cleaning result, deliver savings for end users’ cleaning budget, and still do their bit to protect the planet for the future. In addition, local production greatly reduces their logistics footprint as well.
99.99% BIODEGRADABILITY “InnuScience will continue to innovate; this year we launched the UK’s first microfibre wash, specifically formulated to clean microfibre manually or through a washing machine and the UK’s first Ecologo professional dish wash products,” said Nick Winstone, Managing Director, InnuScience UK.
“We have a straight forward approach to what constitutes a green product, 99.99% ultimate biodegradability over 28 days, according to OECD test 301. This is our internal Enviro Performance standard, complimented by our external certifications from the EU Ecolabel, Nordic Ecolabel and North American Ecologo, as well as the Cruelty Free International certification.”
