• Your Sustainability Advice

    This is the sustainability advice hub, your resource for practical support on lowering energy, waste, chemistry and cost in manufacturing.

How can I lower my energy use?

Many older or manual parts washing systems over-use natural resources, including energy. This results in high utility bills and unnecessary stress on the environment. Plus, there’s often need for rework when using processes that aren’t optimal.

By adopting standardised, automated cleaning solutions and efficient parts washing solutions, manufacturers can significantly lower their energy use.

We’ll help you find the best way to reduce energy costs for your specific plant and needs. Along with it will come better productivity, sustainability and lower costs.

How can I reduce hazardous chemicals?

Hazardous substances have long played a role in industrial cleaning. While effective, they risk environmental and human safety. The regulatory climate is shifting decisively away from hazardous chemistry and if a safer alternative exists, companies are expected, or required, to adopt it.

The good news is that sustainable cleaning is safer, smarter, and often more cost-effective. Seventy per cent of our cleaning solutions are now water based, and our unique purified water cleans twice as effectively, twice as fast, with half the chemicals.

How can I manage my waste?

Reducing waste at the source can unlock operational savings, lower environmental risk, and ensure regulatory compliance. Our experts will review your current processes and find the best way to reduce waste production whether from chemicals, water, faulty parts or faulty output.

What’s left must be removed in a safe, compliant and cost effective way. We do that for you. In 2024, we collected 50,000 drums of waste and +24 million litres of oil, diverting it from landfill & reducing environmental impact. We adhere to strict environmental and compliance procedures, ensuring your waste is managed safely and responsibly. We even recycle 70% of our customers’ used thinners at our own refinery.

How can I extend the life of my goods and materials?

Simple, regular parts cleaning is one of the most effective and overlooked ways to extend machine life and to operate more sustainably.

Machines are only as reliable as their components. Over time, dirt, grease, and debris build up on parts, causing premature wear. This can lead to overheating and corrosion. The overall stress on the machine increases, reducing the life of both individual parts and entire systems.

Not only does replacement of damaged parts or whole machines impact environmentally, it can cost a lot.

And when production and maintenance machines aren’t running properly, the chance of rework and faulty output also increase, meaning more waste.
