Essex firm Sybron, a leading UK supplier of cleaning, hygiene and catering products to some of the largest names in hospitality, has been awarded the world-renowned Ecocert certification for its natural cleaning product range, SyBio, under the Ecodetergent certification.
The accolade is a major achievement for Sybron – based at Crammond Park in Harlow – as it is also the first UK distributor of commercial cleaning products to achieve the certification.
Recognised as the world-leading specialist in the certification of Natural & Organic sustainable practices, Ecocert advances sustainability through its Ecodetergent certification programme, ensuring that products are both naturally derived and eco-friendly. Their emphasis lies in environmentally responsible practices and natural ingredients in their approved detergents, while also rigorously testing product performance and safety.
Manufactured by Biovate Hygienics, which was also awarded Ecocert certification, SyBio is a range of planet-conscious products which deliver improved performance, safer applications and reduced costs. SyBio replaces harmful, non-renewable chemicals with adaptive biotechnology that cleans, augments, remediates and protects a range of environments. SyBio aims to replace toxic chemicals with low-hazard solutions that look after people and ensure the longevity of our aquatic ecosystem.
“We are delighted to have achieved the Ecocert certification,” says Sybron’s sales & marketing director, George Mason. “Earlier this year we achieved Carbon Neutral status and entered a long-term partnership with Planet Mark to help us achieve our net zero targets and drive sustainable change in the industry. The Ecocert certification is another step towards Sybron’s greener future and our ultimate goal of achieving net zero.
“As a business, we recognise sustainability as a long-term approach and are pioneering the way forward to become a sustainability leader. We are aware of the challenges customers in the cleaning and hospitality sectors face to achieve their own sustainability targets and as an innovative and forward-thinking business, we aim to deliver improved sustainability for all, confident that together we can achieve our collective targets.”
