The Lifecycle of Sustainable Washroom Waste Disposal
Whichever industry you’re in, keeping your washroom clean is essential for hygiene, employee wellbeing, and your brand’s reputation. Proper waste disposal is a key part of this, and with environmental concerns at the forefront for many businesses, it’s also important to look at handling washroom waste sustainably.
Sustainability is at the core of what we do at phs, and we’re here to help businesses across the UK reach their environmental goal through flexible green hygiene services.
Read on to learn about our LifeCycle strategy, and how partnering with our hygiene experts can ensure your workplace washrooms stay clean, responsible, and compliant.
Why is sustainability important in washroom waste management?
From toilet roll and paper towels to electric hand dryers and hot running water, keeping your washrooms in top condition naturally uses significant resources.
By taking a conscious effort to engage with sustainable hygiene practices, you can:
- Reduce the amount of waste going to landfill
- Conserve water and energy
- Reduce bills and overheads
- Boost your business’s green credentials
- Lower your carbon footprint
- Ensure compliance with guidance such as the Environmental Protection Act 1990
- Reduce the need for frequent product top-ups, saving time and staff resources
What is the phs LifeCycle Strategy?
You might be wondering: is phs sustainable? We recognise that our operations generate significant hygiene waste, yet are a fundamental part of keeping corporate washrooms clean, compliant, and welcoming. That’s why we’re dedicated to keeping our hygiene and cleaning services as environmentally responsible as possible.
One of the principal ways we do this is by sending collected hygiene waste to state-of-the-art energy-from-waste (EfW) facilities. Our LifeCycle Strategy diverts waste from its usual landfill destination and transforms into energy which then powers homes, businesses, and education spaces across the UK.
Each year, we divert over 55,000 tons of offensive waste away from landfill. This means that, by partnering with our waste collection teams, you can gain peace of mind knowing your washroom waste is being handled in a safe, environmentally conscious way.
How can phs support your sustainable waste management practices?
Our sustainable waste management services are just one element of our green hygiene services. We’re also dedicated to helping businesses:
- Monitor and lower their water consumption through the installation of water control devices. Take a look at our guide for more insight into water-saving devices.
- Improve air quality with products made from recycled materials where possible. The AIRSCENT ECO, for example, is 100% carbon neutral and recyclable.
- Ensure visitors can dry their hands fully with energy-efficient electric dryers.
- Switch to entire suites of washroom dispensers and bins made with up to 100% recycled content with our ReVive range.
We’re always looking for ways to improve our sustainability and reach our goal of Net Zero by 2040, and we’ve successfully been reducing our carbon emissions year on year.
When you partner with phs, you’re not only investing in our high-quality washroom services, but committing to environmental stewardship, social responsibility, innovation, and long-term viability.
