Less landfill, more hygiene
07 March 2013
Each year the UK cleaning industry buys and sells 700 tonnes of plastic mop sockets, which, ultimately, end up as landfill.

Each year the UK cleaning
industry buys and sells 700
tonnes of plastic mop sockets,
which, ultimately, end up as
landfill.
In an effort to reduce waste and save money, Robert Scott & Sons has developed a new eco-friendly mopping system to further enhance its hardworking Big White Mop.
The Big White Refill Mop System comprises two parts; a detachable socket and clip, and a replaceable mop refill. Simple and easy to use, the mop is placed inside the clip and the socket pushed on evenly. The clip and refill is secured by screwing the handle into the socket. When the mop is old and dirty, simply remove the handle to release the clip, dispose of the mop in a paper recycling bin, then replace with a new mop.
The Big White plastic socket and clip can be washed and reused hundreds of times and is colour coded to prevent cross contamination.
