Things to consider when choosing an environmentally friendly product.

Hand towels vs Hot Air Dyers

Our understanding is that paper hand towels from a properly managed and sustained source are more environmentally friendly than hot air dryers which use considerable
amounts of electricity. We believe paper towels from the correct dispensers are probably more hygienic than air dryers.

Chemicals

Where are they made? How many miles are they transported? By what method? What is the actual feedstock used for the chemicals? Not always clear cut or considered when companies promote green credentials, but those factors are all relevant. A key factor is do they actually clean well. There is no point in using a “green” cleaning product if it doesn’t actually clean or takes much more product, water or time to do the job.

Refuse Sacks

Biodegradable rubbish bags currently leave a residue in the ground as they degrade, for which the long-term effects are not fully known, and so do not provide a completely green solution. As a result, we would prefer to source bags from recycled plastic wherever possible as the best current approach to green bags.
