Editor’s Voice
Many still see ‘sustainability’ as little more than another press release bullet point, or even worse think of it as a regulatory noose around their profit
margins or another quota to scrape past, rather than as a real opportunity to bring innovation and opportunity to their business.
This kind of short-sighted thinking should have no place in an industry like ours, where sustainable products, practices and philosophies can not only impress, but they can help businesses truly adapt and flourish.
In this Sustainability Supplement, you’ll find a whole host of articles from across the industry, discussing sustainability from different angles and ways of thinking. Cromwell Polythene discuss the benefits of plastic and
the importance of its proper recycling, while Steve from Robert Scott talks to us about cleaning practices that can be smarter, healthier and more environmentally-friendly.
Meanwhile, Mark from Delphis Eco asks whether we’ve reached a tipping
point on global warming attitudes and what the cleaning industry can do to further improve sustainability goals, while Chris from GOJO questions how ‘greenwashing’ can be avoided with help from third-party certifications.
Thank you very much for reading, and I hope you enjoy this special issue!
