EDUCATIONAL / STUDENT FACILITIES
A DUAL SUSTAINABILITY SOLUTION
Hylab explains how its soap dispensers, alongside SOAP2 Leeds University achieve its sustainability aims.
Campus wide approach to sustainability Sustainability is integral to staff and students at the University of Leeds and is embedded in the University’s strategy and across campus operations.
The University is committed to removing avoidable single use plastic, as well as addressing the climate impact of procurement decisions. The University’s Climate Plan, approved in 2021, is the single biggest investment it has ever made and includes a goal to reach net zero emissions by 2030.
Delivering against these commitments requires collaboration and action across the whole University community, and a significant initiative is currently taking place across the campus washroom environments.
A dual solution to washroom
sustainability To help deliver against the University’s sustainability commitments, the cleaning services team carefully researches and selects environmentally friendly cleaning and hygiene equipment, working in close partnership with its preferred distribution and services partner, Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies.
When they heard about the combination of two sustainable washroom products, SOAP2
matched with a contemporary and stylish dispenser made from recycled plastic by Hylab, they knew it had found the perfect solution for hand hygiene requirements.

manufacturer of soap and paper systems, Hylab produces the range in the UK.
Hylab produces recycled dispensers by reclaiming and reprocessing waste plastic from its manufacturing lines using an on-site recycling centre. This strategy conserves valuable resources and is further supported by the use of post-consumer recycled plastics certified under the EuCertPlast scheme. Robust and high-quality, the soap dispensers are perfectly suited for the high numbers of staff and students regularly using them to clean and moisturise hands.
The SOAP2
O product formula is vegan and 100%
biodegradable, caring for skin and eliminating germs. The water-soluble sachets are easy for the cleaning services team to use, with no single-use plastics in any part of the product or packaging. There is a simple five-step process- fill, add, shake, shake again and go. This starts with filling a four-litre reusable bottle with water, adding four of the sachets, shaking till they dissolve, and shaking again. The product is then ready to be poured into the dispensing unit for use.
