create over 200 hours of employment for blind, visually impaired and otherwise disabled people.
Clem Hinchliffe, Business Development Manager at CLARITY-The Soap Cọ., said: “I’d like to thank Nederlander for their incredible support of our social enterprise. With such a stellar name on board, it inspires others to buy BECỌ too and so create more training and employment opportunities for those that really need it.
“BECỌ stands for better considered: better for those that use it, better for those that make it and better for the planet. Nederlander are helping us to get these key messages out there to so many theatre goers – making it easier to persuade others to switch soap for social good.”
Nederlander lets social enterprise take centre stage
CLARITY-The Soap Cọ. has announced they will be supplying the London theatres of the internationally famous Nederlander Organisation with its new BECỌ Wild Berries foaming hand wash and CLARITY eco washing up liquid.
BECỌ dispensers are on-site at both the Dominion and Aldwych theatres in the West End – a great win for the social enterprise in its efforts to show that everyone is capable of doing something great whilst challenging perceptions of disability. Sales to Nederlander in 2018 will
EU approves single-use plastics ban
The European Parliament has voted for a wide-ranging ban on single-use plastics, to counter the amount of pollution in waterways, fields and the oceans.
Under the plans, many plastic products including disposable plates and cutlery, plastic straws and cotton buds will be eliminated by 2021, with a target of 90% of plastic bottles being recycled by 2025.
The ban was initially proposed in May, following a wave of public opposition to single-use plastic swept across the continent.
The legislation passed 571 votes to 53. The regulations will now have to be approved in talks with each member state, some of which could push back against the rules, however it is widely expected to be passed into law by the end of 2018.
Public toilets get business rate cut
British chancellor Philip Hammond revealed in the 2018 Budget that public toilet owners will no longer pay business rates on them.
The relief will apply to any standalone facilities which are available for public use, regardless of whether they are publicly or privately owned. Traditionally, public toilets have been liable for business rates the same way shops and offices are.

The British Toilet Association has estimated that 40% of public toilets have been closed over the past decade, while figures revealed by the BBC show that more than 600 public toilets across the UK have stopped being maintained by councils since 2010.
In 37 areas of the country, major councils no longer run any public toilets, as local authorities are not legally required to provide them.
Every 5-litre container of BECỌ creates one hour of employment, but its foaming soap also saves 1,760 litres of water. BECỌ is also hypoallergenic, vegan, organic and of course never tested on animals.
Jonathan Dixon, Property Services Manager for Nederlander Theatres, said: “We are delighted to be using BECỌ soap in our theatres. It is great to be working with a unique social enterprise, and to know that with every audience member who washes their hands during the interval of a show we are helping to provide meaningful employment for people with disabilities.”
