Why Dosage Bottles Are a Smarter, More Sustainable Way to Clean
Does Your Business Need to Comply with the New Recycling Laws?
With upcoming recycling legislation, it might feel like your hands are tied when it comes to reducing plastic waste – especially when essential workplace products, like cleaning supplies, often come in bulky, single-use packaging. One simple switch that makes a big difference? Dosage bottles. By reducing excess packaging and ensuring precise product use, they’re a more sustainable, cost-effective way to clean. Here’s why they’re worth the change.
Why Use Dosage Bottles?
- Eliminate Single-Use Plastics
Traditional cleaning methods involve purchasing new 750ml trigger spray bottles each time you need more product. By using super-concentrated cleaning solutions, we can repeatedly refill a reusable bottle, significantly cutting down on plastic waste.
- Reduce CO2 Emissions
Transporting large volumes of pre-mixed cleaning solutions involves shipping unnecessary water weight, which increases carbon emissions. With dosage bottles, you only need to transport the concentrate, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
- Save Money
Concentrated cleaning products offer exceptional value. One litre of our Washroom and Multi-Surface cleaner makes 100 trigger bottles worth of cleaning solution. By purchasing concentrate, businesses can drastically cut costs on packaging and transportation.
- Optimise Storage Space
With less packaging and bulk storage required, businesses can free up valuable storage space on-site, making operations more efficient.
The Impact: Real Sustainability in Numbers
In 2024, our commitment to sustainability led to a significant reduction in plastic waste:
- 7,492.5 kg of plastic saved per year
- Each 1-litre bottle of concentrate replaces 99 single-use bottles
- 150 x 1-litre concentrate bottles replace 15,000 standard 750ml bottles
- This equates to nearly 7.5 tonnes of plastic waste eliminated annually
New Recycling Laws: Are You Ready?
By 31st March 2025, new recycling laws will come into effect in England, focusing on simplifying waste disposal and improving sustainability efforts in offices and businesses. Ensuring compliance with these regulations now will future-proof your cleaning practices while also reducing environmental impact.
