As part of the school’s commitment to achieving net zero by 2050, our team of cleaners have been assigned new biodegradable, plant-based cleaning products, which has reduced the total number of cleaning products being used and reduced costs.
We trailed the products from a local supplier – which deliver in electric vehicles only – for four months. The number of products our team now use has been reduced from 12 to five. Some of the products are refillable which has meant a reduction in waste also. In addition, we have switched to washable cloths and mopheads as part of this initiative.
This has been a hugely successful change to our operations. The cleaners are happier because they have less products to carry with them during their shifts and the high quality results of their labours have been maintained follow the switch to this more sustainable solution.
We’ll have more news about the drive towards net zero in due course.
