SUSTAINABLE BUILDING Sugarcane & Bamboo Paper Sustainable washroom systems


FIG Products W


ith sustainability so high on most people's agenda's now, FIG Products have developed a sustainable washroom system using


paper that is made from the left-over sugarcane plant after the sugar has been extracted for the food industry. The short & delicate fibres make it very soft and causes it to break down very quickly, preventing blocked drains. FIG's sugarcane toilet roll is almost half the price of other bamboo-type


toilet rolls on the market and they have designed feed restrictors inside the dispensers to reduce the cost even further. This is sustainability that doesn't cost the earth! Available in White, Black & stainless steel dispensers, they also have


probably the lowest cost soap system on the market- thanks to their ingenious dosage switch inside the dispenser giving around 3 times the amount of doses per cartridge than other soap systems on the market.

EDUCATION RESOURCES SUPPLIER FINDEL ACCEPTED BY GLOBAL SCIENCE-BASED TARGETS INITIATIVE (SBTi) TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE


A


fter setting greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets in line with climate science, education resources supplier Findel has been accepted


by the global Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). The Hyde, Greater Manchester, headquartered business joins more than


3,000 businesses with a combined market capitalisation of $38tn across 70 countries in 15 industries taking part in the SBTi. Other companies involved in the initiative include Coca Cola, Adidas,


Marks & Spencer and Volkswagen Group. It is believed that Findel is the first education supplies sector company in


the UK to be accepted onto the SBTi. The business is also one of only 230 companies in the UK with an approved science-based target that will be monitored by the SBTi. Findel’s origins as an educational resources supplier can be traced back to


1817. Today, its brands and websites offer more than 32,000 products to educators and parents based in the UK and overseas with the business exporting to 130 countries. The SBTi considers targets ‘science-based’ if they are in line with what the


latest climate science deems necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. These goals are limiting global warming to well-below 2°C above pre-


industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C. Findel’s pathway to reach the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement has


now been validated by the SBTi. The company’s near-term pledge to achieve 1.5°C is the most ambitious target available to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) under SBTi. Actions Findel is taking include specific commitments to improve its carbon


footprint and making its products sustainable, or sustainably improved, with a focus on removing single use plastic. In addition, the company has set an

overall objective of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. Findel is backed by private equity firm Endless, which supported a management buy-out in April 2021. In January this year, the company announced it had rebranded and


introduced a new brand positioning line of ‘Growing education for generations’ which reflects the company’s heritage and future evolution. Findel’s brands comprise Hope, GLS, Davies Sports and Philip Harris. In addition to Hyde, the company has a distribution centre and offices in


Nottingham and employs around 300 people in total. For more information on Findel visituwww.findel.co.uk
