One of these key missed items for recycling are cosmetics and where nearly 40% of people said they don’t think to recycle bottles or may occasionally do.  

Food waste is another ‘missed capture’. It’s estimated that 70% of wasted food in the UK is wasted by families in their own homes. This is 4.5 million tonnes of food being thrown away every year that could have been eaten. 

The Delphis survey found that nearly half the population don’t have a home compost 

Another key aspect of this year’s Recycle Week theme is a focus on local authorities to share the central message - to galvanise the public into recycling more of the right things, more often. 

However, with different systems in play across regional authorities, 73% of responders said they strongly agree that all local authorities should be consistent in their recycling approach to make recycling more efficient, less confusing as a national standard.

When asked how confident people are that their local authority is correctly sorting their household recycling rather than sending it to landfill, nearly half of those asked were not confident that recycled waste was being processed effectively.

Delphis Eco, Founder and Managing Director, Mark Jankovich, said:

“WRAP’s Recycle Week is always a great opportunity to focus on how we can reduce, reuse and recycle more.

“And from our survey findings it’s clear that we still have a way to go. Key items not being recycled such as cosmetics and toiletries alongside food waste is a key area for improvement across homes and local authorities. 

“We can – and should - do more and Recycle Week is a good time for us all to stop and think about what we can do more off when it comes to recycling.”

Sustainability and environmental preservation are arguably the most pressing issues we collectively face. In response to this, multi-award-winning UK manufacturer and No. 1 eco-cleaning company, Delphis Eco continues to lead the way by funding a student bursary for a Master of Studies in Sustainability Leadership Scholarship at the University of Cambridge. 

The two-year bursary aims to support and develop the ‘Game Changing’ sustainability leaders of tomorrow who will drive environmental corporate behaviour where they work and beyond. This is the fifth scholarship Delphis Eco has funded, and they plan to support more.

The Master of Studies in Sustainability Leadership is a full Master’s degree, delivered part-time over two years for working professionals. The course is part of The Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership’s (CISL) mission to encourage the empowerment of both individuals and organisations in sustainability, giving them the tools and the confidence to tackle critical global challenges. 

The Scholarship is fully accredited by the University of Cambridge and is delivered as an interdisciplinary programme by CISL, drawing on an array of academic expertise including the Departments of Engineering, Geography, Land Economy and the Cambridge Judge Business School.

Applicants apply for this Master’s scholarship through the standard University of Cambridge University admissions process. This is then followed by a separate scholarship

application letter covering how applicants are aspiring to be future change agents for sustainability and why additional financial support is needed. Shortlisted scholarship applicants were invited for a panel interview.  

This year’s recipient of the scholarship is Shona Buchanan, who graduated from the University of Edinburgh with an undergraduate degree in Politics and International Relations in 2015. Shona is the Director of Global People & Culture Operations at Too Good To Go, a social impact company fighting food waste through a digital marketplace for surplus food. 

The app that lets people rescue unsold food which would have otherwise gone to waste from a variety of business partners, including supermarkets, shops, restaurants and manufacturers, among others. By partnering with Too Good To Go, businesses can sell their good food, which would have otherwise gone to waste, while consumers can save money by purchasing a 'Surprise Bag' or 'Magic Parcel' at a discounted price.

Delphis Eco, Founder and Managing Director, Mark Jankovich, said:

“Since 2018, the scholarship programme has supported the ‘game changing’ leaders of tomorrow who are committed to tackling global problems and who will drive more sustainable corporate behaviours, in their business ventures and beyond. We are honoured to be able to fund this scholarship as it’s exactly the type of Master’s programme we would want to be aligned to, for so many reasons.

Whilst it’s of major importance for humanity, sustainability also represents a real business opportunity. Many companies which have successfully embedded sustainable practice into their culture have reported reduced overheads, greater customer and staff loyalty, and increased sales. 

The particular challenges faced by small enterprises (such as, for instance, the sourcing and procurement of materials, supply chain and waste management) can be daunting for individual companies, but if addressed collectively solutions can be identified

and implemented far more easily and effectively. 

This collaborative approach leads to the deep-rooted and organic incorporation of sustainability into business culture.”

Shona Buchanan, said: 

“I am honoured and delighted to be awarded a scholarship from Delphis Eco to support me in the Master’s in Sustainability Leadership at the University of Cambridge as this scholarship is enabling me to live out something I have been looking to do for several years.  

“Within my role at Too Good To Go I lead on our B Corp status and many programmes leading from that, from Diversity, Equality and Inclusion to our carbon accounting and so to be supported by a B Corp company like Delphis Eco is a real honour and means a great deal to me.”

Delphis Eco will be the first non-food product range that FusionFSM has added to its portfolio of high-profile food brands.

Mark Jankovich, CEO and founder of Delphis Eco, said: “We are delighted to be working with FusionFSM as the team knows all too well just how important sustainability has become to the Foodservice Industry.  

“In FusionFSM, we have a proven team of experts who will be an invaluable pool of support and help us service the opportunities we are seeing.  We share common values and together we will drive sales – and awareness of the importance of making eco-friendly purchasing decisions – further within the sector”.

FusionFSM is one of the most well-connected businesses in Foodservice, with relationships that have been nurtured and developed over years. 

Anne Wright, commercial director for FusionFSM, added: “We are very much looking forward to working with Delphis Eco, our first non-food brand client, as we are so impressed by its significant sustainability credentials and product efficacy.

Not only will its new set of Hero stories go on the front of each product, but Delphis is taking it to the next level with a captivating and massive 48-sheet tube advert at Holborn Central Line, accompanied by an advert at Welwyn Garden City.  

The stunning eye-catching displays will take the spotlight for a two-week period, starting Monday, 17^th July 2023.

Delphis Eco has been a respected partner of cleaning products to the commercial market for the last 15 years.  The shift into the retail market was instigated by a continuous push by commercial customers to offer a range they could offer at home. The labels on its retail packaging already have quotes from commercial partners.  

And now - two years after its launch in Waitrose, Delphis Eco’s CEO and Founder, Mark Jankovich, explains the Heroes Campaign.

“We are super-proud to be launching our Heroes Campaign which is going mainstream – this is the first time we have gone into underground billboard advertising.  

“With such symbiosis between Delphis’ B2B and B2C ranges, the Hero Campaign is designed to champion Delphis’ commercial partners, the real heroes behind Delphis Eco.

“Indeed, it’s their hard work, commitment to sustainability and trust in Delphis’ products that places them as leaders in sustainability. The campaign also draws attention to the importance of using sustainable, non-toxic cleaning products and highlights how using eco-friendly cleaning products is a simple, yet effective solution people can adopt to become more sustainable.

The very first Delphis Hero launching the campaign is Michelle Thomas, New Openings Manager at room2, the leading hometel brand, and part of Lamington Group. 

As the inaugural ‘Hero’, Michelle demonstrates exceptional dedication and leadership in championing eco-conscious practices within the hospitality sector. 

Her visionary approach aligns perfectly with Delphis Eco's mission to promote sustainable cleaning solutions and sets a remarkable example as an advocate for sustainable living in the hospitality industry.

room2 seamlessly blends the comfort of a home with the convenience of a hotel, while also working tirelessly towards achieving full Net Zero status. 

Michelle commented:

“Sustainability has become much more of a focus for me personally, and for the business. It’s really important to have an eco-friendly cleaning product to make sure the facilities that we provide for our guests are safe. We want to make sure our team members are using products that are safe to use – a product that is good for people and the planet and gets the job done.

“My favourite product is the Multi-Purpose Cleaner – I can do everything with it. I can spray a badly stained shower, go back in a few minutes, wipe it and it’s perfect first time. It’s a great product.”

Commenting on the campaign, Mark Jankovich concludes:  

“Working with industry professionals, such as Michelle, who have first-hand experience of using our products can reassure retail customers of our credibility who are naturally sceptical about the effectiveness of eco-friendly cleaning products and most likely, their green credentials too.   

“If our professional partners love our products and trust our environmental accreditations, we are confident these products can be just as effective and loved in people’s homes.

“Michelle embodies the spirit of sustainability, leading the charge towards a greener future.

“We are looking forward to launching the Hero Campaign, continuing to work with our fantastic business partners and achieving our ambitious targets to rapidly grow our presence in the retail space”.

Delphis Eco products are available at Waitrose, Ocado, and Amazon.

The partnership, which launched this month, sees Delphis Eco become an integral part of Fortnum & Mason’s new purpose built Cookshop – a food and drink studio which is described as an ‘experiential hub dedicated to food and drink’ and which aims to showcase every corner of the culinary world, giving customers an immersive experience.

The Cookshop is located on the third floor of the flagship Piccadilly store, alongside its famous hampers and new gin distillery. 

Over the coming months, Fortnum & Mason's infamous 100+ executive chefs will be playing host to a series of masterclasses and demonstrations where they will be using Delphis Eco’s products to clean down their cooking areas.

The eco-friendly Delphis cleaning products that the chefs will be using include Anti-Bacterial Kitchen Sanitiser 700ml, Washing up Liquid 500ml, Anti-Bacterial Hand Soap 350ml, Multi-Purpose Cleaner 700ml and Multi-Surface Polish 700ml. All of these hero products will also be available for consumers to buy in the Cookshop.

Ellan Prem Appadurai, Head Chef at Fortnum & Mason, said: “Cleanliness is as important to us as the food we serve and as a family run business that’s been around for over 300 years, we’re always looking for partners who mirror our values and equally committed to conducting our business in a way that is sustainable for all of us over the next 300!

“We have four sustainability and social responsibility pillars: People, Product, Packaging and Planet. These drive our commitment to doing more things more often to create long-lasting change, with the help of our suppliers, employees and customers. This is why working with Delphis Eco is a perfect fit for us.”

Mark Jankovich, CEO of Delphis Eco (pictured) said: “We are delighted that yet again, we can clearly demonstrate that we are the professional’s choice with Fortnum & Mason’s chefs using our cleaning products to clean 'back of house' with the same products that 'front of house’ customers can purchase and take away with them.   It’s a great example of what we stand for here at Delphis Eco – loved by professionals, approved by the planet.”

Under the partnership, The Guild will be using Delphis Eco’s non-toxic cleaning products at the four of the major competitions it runs throughout the year, including Graduate Awards, The British Culinary Championships (replacing Wessex Salon Culinaire) and Skills for Chefs. 

Representing best practice in sustainable hygiene, Delphis Eco’s products are plant-based, vegan, bio-degradable and non-harmful to users and the environment, yet incredibly powerful and effective.

Delphis Eco will also be supplying a hamper of goodies for winners of each of The Guild’s competitions – recognising the overall hygiene winner – in addition to sponsoring Chef’s jackets for The Guild’s contests.

Andrew Green, CEO of the Craft Guild of Chefs, says:

“Spotless hygiene is a vital part of what chefs are taught today.  Consumers demand and expect the highest standards, and rightly so.

“We’re delighted to partner with Delphis Eco which mirrors our values for ‘clean yet green’ as operators move towards ecologically kind products that also have strong efficacy.  

“And we have a lot of synergies.  What may not be commonly known, is that Delphis products are Royal warrant holders supplying two Royal households as well as winning the Queens Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development last year.  The products are truly excellent.

“Not only is Delphis Eco sponsoring our Chefs’ jackets, which look really smart and professional, but it’s also a ‘made in Britain’ brand which is something that we feel is important and want to support”. 

Mark Jankovich, CEO of Delphis Eco added: “We are excited to be working with the Craft Guild of Chefs and to have the platform to be able to raise the profile of our eco-friendly and sustainable cleaning products with The Guild’s chefs. 

“It’s also excellent to be working alongside some of the younger student chefs at The Guild as the next generation is vitally important to the environment as we all look to combat climate change in the years’ ahead.  

“We are confident that they will quickly realise that our products are as effective as their toxic counterparts and see the benefit in buying sustainable cleaning products.”

The new 2-litre refills work perfectly alongside the standard 700ml bottles used by many professional cleaning companies. Each Delphis Eco 2-Litre refill can fill the Delphis Eco, 700ml bottle up to six times, representing a significant saving in cost and carbon emissions.

Refills are now available for Delphis’ Limescale Remover, Washing Up Liquid, Glass and Stainless Steel Cleaner, Bathroom Cleaner, Heavy Duty Degreaser, Multi-Purpose Cleaner, Anti-Bacterial Hand Soap, Shower Cleaner, Anti-Bacterial Sanitiser, Multi-Purpose Descaler and Patio and Stone Cleaner. 

The Delphis Eco’ range is the most environmentally friendly, effective cleaning product range available to the professional cleaning sector. Products are plant-based, vegan, bio-degradable and non-harmful to users and the environment. Not only are Delphis’ products good for the environment, they make no compromise on cleaning ability and are extraordinarily powerful.

According to CEO, Mark Jankovich, the 2-litre refills are a further important step in the Delphis Eco’ journey to revolutionise the domestic cleaning sector towards plant-based non-toxic products whilst helping retailers present fresh and effective solutions to their customers:

“Our new 2-litre refill range is designed to help professional cleaners in several ways. Saving money is critical for businesses right now, and the benefits of using refills go further than the obvious economies of scale.

“It includes the number of times cleaning businesses need to travel to buy cleaning products and the energy/fuel elements around doing that.  It saves the amount of business waste and it’s certainly far more convenient to top up your teams’ bottles as you run low.

“There is also the issue of storage – the 2-litre refills are also easier to store when there is limited storage space.”

The 2-litre refills are a further important step in the Delphis’ journey to revolutionise the professional cleaning sector towards non-toxic products and the company is quick to dispel the myth that plant-based, non-harmful cleaning chemicals are not able to deliver the heavy lifting that consumers want:

“We have spent the last decade looking to change businesses perceptions around the efficacy of plant-based cleaning products” continues Jankovich, “and we are delighted to see a real shift. More and more businesses are demanding eco-friendly products that work.

“The professional cleaning industry has truly woken up to the need to reduce pollution and take climate change seriously.”

Delphis has hit the headlines many times in the last few years. Whilst holding a Royal Warrant from HRH The Prince of Wales (now King Charles III), and formerly with HRH the late Queen Elizabeth II until her passing, Delphis was the first company in the UK to pioneer 100% recycled plastic bottles in which to encase its products. It was a recipient of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Sustainable Development 2022, for its ground-breaking approach to taking single-use plastic out of the market for its bottles in 2018, ahead of the larger players who were slow to follow.

The Delphis Eco 2-Litre refills can fill the Delphis Eco 700ml bottle up to six times. More details on the 2-litre range can be found at www.delphiseco.com or by calling +44 (0) 203 397 0096.

“Here at Delphis Eco, with a 10-year relationship with the royal household, we wish to send our congratulations to Her Majesty the Queen on this incredible milestone.” says Mark Jankovich, founder and CEO of Delphis Eco. 

Created out of the need to provide a solution to cleaning that wouldn’t harshly impact the environment, the Delphis Eco team has produced a sustainable cleaning range recently awarded the prestigious Queen’s Award. Made from renewable, plant-based ingredients, Delphis Eco provides products that are loved by professionals for their performance and approved by the planet for their reduced impact on the environment and people.

Furthermore, Delphis Eco’s core commitments and actions are aligned to those of the Royal Family in connection to environmental efforts. 

“We thank Her Majesty for her wisdom, guidance and commitment to the environment as we celebrate this weekend along with the rest of the country and Commonwealth,” Jankovich adds.
