Environmental issues are becoming serious concerns with many London businesses now recognising the importance of eco-friendly cleaning practices. One of the biggest challenges is waste reduction. With excessive waste from offices, the landfills are overflowing, creating a negative impact on the environment. With the right waste reduction strategies in place, you can reduce your ecological footprint, while maintaining a clean and hygienic workplace.
In this blog, we are going to discuss the waste reduction strategies we use at Sloane Cleaning Services when it comes to office cleaning.
Businesses alone contribute to four million tonnes of waste each year and with the introduction of the Simpler Recycling legislation across the UK last year, businesses need to have a plan in place to reduce waste.
Professional office cleaning specialists offer London businesses eco-friendly cleaning solutions, helping to reduce waste, aligning with your green policy. Below is some of the ways, we at Sloane Cleaning Services, help with waste reduction when it comes to office cleaning.
Traditional cleaning methods involved a large number of single-use spray bottles, which were sent to the landfills. In order to reduce waste, we have transitioned to refilling over replacing. What this means is we use reusable spray bottles with concentrated formulas, reducing plastic waste and reducing your carbon footprint.
We also use microfibre cloths over paper towels. These colour coded microfibre cloths ensure that we eliminate the risk of contamination, while helping with waste reduction. These cloths can be washed and reused numerous times, dramatically reducing paper waste.
Your cleaning teams are often at the head of your office recycling. We can track how much waste your office produces, providing reports and identifying where you can make improvements. At the same time, our team are thoroughly trained on waste reduction and management, ensuring that all items are recycled effectively.
In addition to this, we use sustainable industry-grade cleaning equipment and have strict protocols when it comes to the disposal and recycling of lithium-ion batteries. Our equipment uses less electricity and water, helping to reduce your impact on the environment.
At the same time, we focus on repairing our equipment when needed, rather than replacement, reducing how much waste your business sends to the landfill annually.
With a regular cleaning programme in place, you reduce the risk of over-cleaning, eliminating the use of unnecessary cleaning products and water. Your professional cleaning service should have a clear schedule in place, targeting high traffic areas frequently and low-traffic areas as needed.
Every office we clean has a checklist that needs to be completed. We no longer use paper logs where our teams tick off each box. We have transitioned to digital systems, where our schedules, checklists, and inspection reports are digitised to reduce paper waste.
