Implementation Approximately 1,500 of Hylab’s Myriad Recycled Soap Dispensers will be installed in academic faculties across the campus, ensuring the highest levels of hand hygiene for over 39,000 students from more than 100 different countries and 9,200 staff. This is being undertaken by the university’s estates team in a phased roll-out, with 240 of the wall-mounted dispensers currently in place.
The soap dispensers are being introduced into a wide range of facilities with hygiene requirements, covering washrooms, kitchens, laboratories, and areas specially designed for practical teaching. This includes mock up workshops for engineering students and specially designed wards for medical students.
Benefits The dispensers, which have a capacity of 900ml and approximately 1500 doses, deliver the perfect amount of the foam soap, reducing consumption by 85%, meaning less refills and cost savings. With a smooth design and a window with a seamless join, cleaning is easy too.
The SOAP2 O sachets are wrapped in PVA (poly vinyl
alcohol) water soluble film, meaning there is no waste to discard of and the packaging is 100% recyclable. Since there are no single-use plastics in any part of the product or packaging, no microplastics are deposited into the water system, making it a one hundred per cent eco responsible product.
The dosing is always precise which means that the active ingredients in the ready-made sachets will work at the optimum level and costs can be completely controlled and monitored.
As the soap comes in lightweight sachets, 36,000 sachets can be delivered on just one pallet, with environmental and cost benefits. The weight of the load is lighter, with zero shipping of water, which lowers transportation costs, lowers emissions, and reduces the storage space required

at the university. Manual handling risks are reduced too, as each small box contains twelve sachets, compared to twelve heavy litres of liquid concentrate.
Additionally, on a monthly basis SOAP2 O donate fresh
drinking water to developing countries on behalf of Leeds University, through the Made Blue Foundation. This equates to 1,000 litres per every thirty sachets used by the university.
Jill Roberts, Head of Cleaning Services at Leeds University, said: “We selected SOAP2
O and Hylab’s Myriad
Recycled Soap Dispensers, as the two products work perfectly together, helping us on our journey to net zero. This is one of the biggest initiatives that the university has undertaken to eliminate single use plastic and use products made from recycled material, supporting our environmental goals.”
