Sustainability-driven innovation
Here, Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies let us know how they are embracing the innovations brought by sustainable practices.
Our industry and the world around us is changing at an ever-fastening pace, with new challenges arising all the time. From outbreaks to the environment and wellbeing of our people, we’ve found that asking why, advocating discovery and embracing innovation are all key to tackling our industry’s biggest issues.
We’ve partnered with the Golden Service Awards this year because they share this affinity: to empower, innovate and protect. For years the awards have championed the best of the industry. We have felt very aligned to the work of the GSA because it’s the talented people of the cleaning market who really make the difference.
At Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies, we’ve continued to look at the needs of the industry, and our vision is our guiding principle: ‘To create a clean, safe and sustainable world.’
We believe that to protect people and the environment we must innovate, empowering the people on the frontlines. Therefore, we created a programme called Innov8, designed to find the key innovations which can shift the way our customers think and work.
Innov8 has uncovered products and ways of working from around the world which have both addressed problems and opened new possibilities.
Product innovation
The Clorox Total 360 System (T360) can deal with large- scale outbreaks, such as the current Novel Coronavirus outbreak, whilst changing how you clean daily. Given an electrostatic charge, the solution wraps 360° around every object and surface. This not only gives superior coverage – pushing the disinfectant solution around to the front, back, top and bottom of objects – but does so quickly (4x faster than a trigger spray) and using less chemical (65% less than a trigger spray), achieving superior disinfection, time and cost savings.
The T360 is so effective that amongst others, the human Coronavirus family, MRSA, Norovirus and cold and flu viruses are killed in under two minutes, and it performs safely on both hard and soft surfaces.
Plastic pollution is a key issue for our industry, one which we have worked hard to tackle. We’ve found product innovation is the most important way in reducing our impact. OdorBac Tec4 for instance is a true multi-purpose cleaner, refining down the number of products on site to just one powerful super-concentrate.
This has reduced the products needed to be stocked on site and trained on, and as OdorBac has been created to be safe to use it’s perfect for cleaners. Fewer plastics, reduced risk, better for the environment, all possible through product innovation.
Real sustainable change
Climate change is fast becoming a core piece in the agenda of world leaders, and we are already experiencing the consequences around the globe. It’s so important that the term sustainability is not used as a buzzword however: it must be intrinsically built into your organisation and how you work and play every day. We’ve found this is the only way to really protect and change the industry we work in.
A reduction of CO2 is imperative and using a multitude of techniques such as our complete fleet management solution, Verizon Connect, we create the most efficient delivery routes possible. Since 2011, we have reduced our annual fuel consumption by 20.5%.
Also, we no longer use fossil fuels to power our facilities: our energy is sourced from renewable zero carbon sources including solar and wind. In 2019 we diverted 100% of our waste from landfill, with 75% of this being recycled and the other 25% going to waste-to-power facilities.
We know innovation is the real key to creating a safer and more sustainable world.
