How can the right cleaning products make meaningful CO2
e reductions?
With BioHygiene’s range of cleaning products leading the way in carbon reduction, we talk to Dr John Lear, Technical Director at BioHygiene’s parent company, Biological Preparations, about how sensibly sourced cleaning products and packaging can make a real difference in the battle against carbon emissions.
What is CO2 CO2
e, and why is it important? e (carbon dioxide equivalent) is a metric measure used
to compare emissions from greenhouse gases on the basis of their global warming potential (GWP), converting such emissions to the equivalent amount of CO2
.
It can be expressed in MMTCDE (million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents) or in kg, which is how we provide CO2
must ultimately take all sources of emissions into account, including the types of raw materials used, energy used in

manufacture, packaging and so on. Accurately calculating CO2
e allows organisations to understand their carbon footprint and find ways to reduce it.
How can raw materials make a difference, and why does using the
right ones matter? Careful selection of raw materials can offer significant opportunities for CO2
e reduction. Traditional surfactants and other ingredients in cleaning products are invariably derived
