Council cleaners go bleach free to green up Liverpool
February 1st 2010 The cleaning staff across
Liverpool City Council are aiming
to use the most environmentally
friendly cleansing products
available and have called in
Jangro member,Wray Bros of
Liverpool to advise.
The council's 300-strong army
of cleaners has banned the use of
bleach and all products that are
harmful to the environment, and
has replaced them with
alternative eco products, which
don't harm the planet or damage
the health of its cleaning team.
The council has adopted the
Jangro 'Enviro' product range
which claims to have a low
environmental impact in terms of
its manufacturing process,
delivery and use.The move will
help the city to meet its carbon
reduction commitments in the
coming years.
Liverpool's Lord Mayor
Councillor Mike Storey asked for
the new eco-friendly products to
be used at the town hall."The
initial response from the cleaners
and town hall staff has been
overwhelmingly positive," says
Storey,"and we would encourage
other businesses and all residents
to use similar environmentallyfriendly
cleaning products to
help make Liverpool the greenest
city in the UK."
"This is a fantastic scheme,"
says Councillor Berni Turner,
Liverpool's executive member for
the environment."It really is a
solution that will benefit
individuals and the
environment."
The council's cleaning services
department provides cleansing
services to 180 buildings.Wray
Bros has also introduced a range
of more environmentally friendly
delivery vehicles and the council
has given a commitment to half
delivery days each year. More articles from Jangro Limited: |
