We Are Ethically Minded & Eco-Conscious Cleaning Product Suppliers
Cleaning Supplies UK as part of the Pattersons Catering & Cleaning Supplies Group are just as eco-conscious as our parent company. Everything we do from encouraging eco-friendly cleaning product selection to the way we operate our business has sustainability at the forefront. Pattersons Ltd have been trading for hundreds of years and by continuing to be as environmentally friendly as we can be we are aiming to continue trading for hundreds more.
1. Order Your Cleaning Supplies Online
By using our cleaning supplies website we both can reduce paper usage. With the whole of our ordering system being electronically connected, paper usage is minimised in the process. When you order your cleaning products on-line this is a paperless system all the way through to dispatch.
2. Electronic Documents
Instead of posting paper statements why not subscribe to receiving electronic documents? You will receive our invoices and statements via email and reduce wastage as well as CO2 emissions. Not only is this an environmentally friendly option but it allows you to store and manage your paperwork more efficiently. To subscribe please send an email to [email protected] stating your name, company name, and account number and we will do the rest. Alternatively, you can discuss this with your Account Manager or a member of the customer services team.
3. Receive Our Catalogues Electronically
We can email you our cleaning product catalogue or you can download it here online. This saves paper and minimises fuel usage delivering them to your door step. Also using our cleaning supplies store to find your commercial cleaning products is saving on paper!
4. We Stock Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products
Where possible we have introduced cleaning products that have minimal environmental impact as determined by the W.E.I.R scheme. We are continually looking to ensure our cleaning products are ethically sourced and have as little impact on the environment as possible. Many of our customers have already made the switch to Jangro Enviro – should you? Check out our eco-friendly cleaning ranges from Jangro Enviro and other eco-friendly cleaning brands that we stock.
5. Our In-House Systems Have Been Changing
Not only do we reduce our office wastage by recycling but we are also committed to ensuring our warehouses at Bristol, Redditch, Rochdale and Newton Abbott are as environmentally friendly as possible. We have invested in compactors and have seen a significant reduction in our waste as well as savings in packaging at the fulfilment stage. We also are saving energy in the offices and have taken a number of measures to ensure electricity and gas use is minimised.
6. Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
We make large orders with our suppliers to reduce our carbon foot print as well as sourcing British products where possible. As a group Pattersons Ltd are aiming to be carbon neutral by 2020! A big project currently being undertaken but really important to us to achieve.
7. Redundant Stock
We have regularly, for years, ensured our redundant cleaning equipment does not end up in a landfill but is given to various charities who will benefit. Cleaning Supplies UK is committed to reducing our impact on the environment and continually reviews our policies to ensure continued improvement.
These are just some of the steps Cleaning Supplies UK takes to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Our ISO 14001:2015 accreditation demonstrates our serious commitment to the environment and how we continually aim to reduce our business processes impact on the environment.
