Our Еnvironmental Policy
Ultimately Eco Cleaning Ltd complies fully with environmental legislation. Our activities, both internal operations and infrastructural development are designed to have as little impact on the environment as possible.
- We do not own any vehicles; instead we hold a membership with a hire-by-the-hour cars and vans company that we use only when necessary. Our colleagues use the public transport or cycle. Some of our subcontractors are members of the Barclays Bicycle hire scheme.
- Cleaners are trained to turn off lights and machines, and to clean one area at a time, so that to minimise the use of light.
- We train our people to stop taps when not in use and to report leaks etc.
- Every one of us is trained to recycle:
- PAPER: Copier Paper – white or dyed; Card – white or dyed; Leaflets; Brochures, magazines, newspapers; Junk mail; Business directories including Yellow Pages; Envelopes, including “window” envelopes: Cardboard (or use Tape on flat-packed bundle)
- TIN: Drinks cans & food tins GLASS: Glass bottles & jars Tetrapak; Batteries; Light Bulbs
- PLASTIC: Plastic bottles, films & carrier bags (check for the symbols below)
- NB – symbol 6 is for Polystyrene – we can only recycle non-expanded PS. COMPOST – organic cooking and garden waste – we know how to and we do it where this service is facilitated.
- Every product we supply is delivered with a COSHH certificate; however most of them do not require one.
- When a new product or material is suggested to us, we will not consider it unless it is 100% environmentally friendly and/or an improvement on the existing.
- We aim to supply toilet paper and towels from only recycled sources, or from certified sustainable resources.
We do not use conventional cleaning products because we believe they are manufactured unethically and damage our health and the environment. We do not use bleach.
