Environment

At the Gleam Team, we believe it is essential that we do all we can to protect and maintain our environment  for our quality of life now and that of future generations to the best of our ability.

We are committed to reducing our negative environmental impact; the following are some of the positive solutions we are currently using:

• We use washable micro-fibre clothes and, where possible ,flat mops which means that we minimise the use of cleaning chemicals and  because they are colour coded, prevent cross contamination.
• The cleaning products we use have minimal environmental impact.  The manufacturer states that in all products ‘the surfactant is readily broken down by the effluent treatment process’ and none of the products ‘contain any substances expected to be bioaccumulating’.
• We decant cleaning products from 5lt. Containers to 750ml/1ltr. Trigger sprays.  We do not use any aerosols.
• We recycle all cardboard, paper, ink cartidges, batteries, etc. at our Head Office and work with our  customers in their recycling schemes.

We are always looking to reduce our impact on the environment and this includes:

• Reviewing and sourcing new products which have even lower environmental impact.
• Ensuring that all new equipment purchases will be as energy efficient as is affordable.
• Working with our Customers and their Environmental policy.
