Green award for best practice

Bio-Productions, in partnership with OCS, has won a Green Apple Environment Award for helping to reduce the environmental impacts of cleaning Gatwick, the UK's second largest airport.

The Green Apple Awards are run by The Green Organisation to recognise, reward and promote environmental best practice around the world.

The awards will be presented to winners at a ceremony in the House of Commons on November 14, 2011. Winners will be invited to have their paper published in The Green Book, an international work of reference on environmental best practice,and they will also be considered to represent their country in the European Business Awards for the Environment.

The introduction of Bio-Productions biological cleaning products at Gatwick has resulted in a recognised improvement in washroom air quality, as well as the airports environmental impacts being reduced in a number of ways. The cleaning products are also stored in a smaller area resulting in lower energy consumption.
