By sourcing recycled paper products from Kruger we have been certified at saving 1262 trees this year.
Kruger tissue group our supplier of 10 years whom make our tissue products such as toilet tissue, hand towels and wipes have provided a new website to demonstrate their process of UK waste recycling in the UK.
The following two links may prove of interest and use, the first their corporate responsibility document and second a link to the site.

We can provide the stickers to demonstrate the unique paper credentials within the dispenser if it is important to you and your customers.

Carriage costs reduced by M&A eco cleaning system.

I have been privileged to see inside and through the back of house of many a great hospitality venues of this land in the past 22 years of service to the trade but now and again I get to sample the hospitality as part of my work.

The wonderful Braye Beach Hotel on Alderney in the Channel Islands recently became a convert to our Microfibre cleaning systems and invited me over to train their staff. It wasn't so much the environmental benefits as a need to reduce shipping weight of all the cleaning chemicals and materials.After flying in the smallest plane I have ever been in to Guernsey I then boarded an even smaller plane to Alderney. Seating 12 people at a squeeze and more like a biscuit tin with wings I wondered whether this was a good idea. The pilot offered us ear plugs and then turned around and took off in a matter of minutes. An ex Virgin air steward I thought flying was fearless for me, apparently not, but I must say a real feel of getting away.
The Hotel was luxurious and ideal for down time. Following a survey, training and a report I deduced we could cut down carriage weight by over 50% through Microfibre use, high grade fluids (add water on the island!), reduce cross over of duplicate use products, optimise products and negate the use of toxic and phosphates.
So any customer that has a luxurious hotel perhaps on an island I am happy to go and Microfibre you any time, maybe I'll give my ex Virgin boss a ring, I think he has an island somewhere!

Electric bikes for commuting make sense

Check out this website www.reactionelectric.co.uk for plug in rechargeable scooters. Imagine whizzing into work, parking the bike up, plugging it in and going to work or off to the shops into the car park and plug it in. Tourism and hospitality or entertainment venues that offered docking points would attract custom and promote less emissions.

M&A makes environmental award finals.


Although we were pipped to the post by a car sharing scheme, we made the final four up for the greening business award as a result of our work on the design, innovation and promotion of green products to business. Of particular note to judges was our toxic free cleaning systems, own range eco fluids, recycled paper product innovation in the shape of our eco napkin.
With the Oscars when they loose they keep smiling, I didn't to be honest, I wanted to win so we will have to work harder for next years!

Dial Green are good people to do business with!

I met Bob from Dial Green http://www.dial-green.co.uk/ again last week as he is helping me with our environmentally friendly policy of sourcing greener supplies. They are looking at taking over our call provision and making it carbon neutral.

They are a very good, competitive, ethical company who have been more than helpful regards our current contracts and how we can make the change.
I said that I would Blog about them and post up this offer regards free alcohol for just letting them review your call charges, sounds like a good deal to me! Mail Bob at bob@dialassociates.co.uk if you wish.
