Hallmark Care Homes has partnered with biotech cleaning supplier BioHygiene in a move towards sustainability.
The care provider has introduced BioHygiene’s carbon-neutral, non-hazardous products within the kitchen, laundry and housekeeping departments of their 19 homes in a bid to reduce carbon emissions and plastic waste across the board.
BioHygiene packaging is made from post-consumer-resin (PCR), reducing single-use plastic waste and carbon saving up to 85 per cent. Boxes used to transport orders are made from FSC-certified cardboard.
With BioHygiene chemicals being produced and stored in Wales, the change will see Hallmark significantly reduce their deliveries and transport costs, lowering their carbon emissions by up to 88 per cent.
The switch to concentrate with reusable, recyclable PCR bottles will also enable them to reduce their plastic waste up to 37 per cent.
Formulated with naturally-derived ingredients including microbes, enzymes, plant extracts and organic acids, BioHygiene’s biotech-based products reduces the risk of irritation to the skin, eyes and lungs, contributing to the health and safety of Hallmark’s employees, residents and visitors.
All Hallmark employees were trained on the correct use and storage of BioHygiene products as part of the National roll-out plan to further ensure the safety of all users.
