As a company we realise the importance of becoming more environmentally friendly. This prompted us to make several changes across our business such as the services we offer, products we use to deliver our services, education we provide to our team, and also investing back into the environment.
Our sustainability journey:
North Shore
Recognising that one of the main environmental impacts created by the cleaning industry is the amount of paper/plastic products being used, Synergy FM committed to reduce single use paper and plastic by selecting the North Shore range.
North Shore are a UK based company at the forefront of sustainability. They offer a wide range of products which are cost effective, offering both pure and recycled paper product options, with plastic free packaging.
Northshore have also strengthened its commitment to sustainability with the introduction of its ‘Green Loop’ closed loop end-of-life plastic recycling solution. All plastic inserts are recycled to make new raw material which can then be used for future inserts.
ntrl
Many new products come to the market, but not all meet all the criteria we require to achieve the highest standards of cleaning, and also conform to the environmental values we work within.
Here’s the main benefits we love: eco-friendly and readily biodegradable, vegan, cruelty-free and british made, free from: VOC’s, chlorine bleaches, solvents, lanoline, sulphates, parabens and phosphates, zero waste as empties are collected, cleaned and refilled and as a bonus, they are made in Yorkshire, UK.
Numatic Eco Re-flo
This vacuum is crafted with ReFlo Technology, using high-quality recycled materials from the automotive industry, which would otherwise end up in landfills. Choosing a product made from post-industrial, recycled plastic is not only reducing waste, but also ensuring that the equipment we use is built to last, aligning with our long-term sustainability goals.
In addition to its eco-friendly build, the Numatic Eco Reflo offers significant energy savings without sacrificing performance. Equipped with a 420W high-efficiency motor, this vacuum provides the same powerful, professional cleaning as other Numatic models while consuming 30% less energy. This means lower annual energy costs and a reduced environmental footprint, enabling Synergy FM to deliver outstanding cleaning results in a more sustainable and cost-effective way.
Soap₂o
In striving to minimise our usage of single use plastic, Synergy FM opted to use Soap₂o as the supplier of our hand soap. They supply water soluble sachets so there is zero water transported to site which reduces the weight and volume dramatically. This also means there is no plastic waste to discard of and the packaging is 100% recyclable.
Last year Soap₂o saved 250,000 plastic bottles going to landfill and saved an astonishing 50.4 tons of plastic!!
Treeapp
We are always looking at initiatives to support the environment and help create a more sustainable world and so Synergy FM decided to support Treeapp – an organisation who plant trees to help offset carbon footprints and create sustainable habitats for wildlife, functioning ecosystems that support healthy air, water and ground activity.
So far Treeapp have planted over 2 million trees globally, which is equivalent to 3,700 football pitches!
