Today’s buyers demand credible choices, real evidence, and trusted partners who can help them achieve their ESG goals, not empty marketing claims. Green cleaning has become a shared responsibility among businesses, suppliers, and facilities teams across every industry.

At Fenns, we’re seeing a clear shift in how organisations approach sustainable procurement. Businesses are looking for practical solutions that reduce environmental impact without disrupting operations or increasing costs. Here are some of the biggest changes shaping the future of sustainable cleaning…

Refillable Dosing Systems

Refillable dosing systems using concentrated chemicals offer one of the fastest and most effective wins in sustainable cleaning. A single 5-litre concentrate can replace hundreds of ready-to-use bottles, significantly reducing plastic waste, and that’s keeping hundreds of bottles out of landfill.

Compact Chemical Formats

Compact chemical formats minimise packaging while also reducing transportation impact. Shipping concentrates instead of ready-to-use products means less water is transported, fewer deliveries are required, and overall carbon emissions are lowered, supporting sustainability targets and operational efficiency.

Eco-Efficient Cleaning Machines

Modern cleaning equipment is becoming smarter and more energy efficient. Advances in technology and low-energy modes allow machines to deliver excellent cleaning performance while using less power. Businesses benefit from cleaner floors, lower energy consumption, and longer equipment lifecycles – all contributing to a more sustainable operation.

Recycled Content Consumables

Many recycled content consumables now deliver high performance with a much lower environmental impact. Fully traceable and even carbon neutral, these products give businesses confidence that their everyday consumables align with sustainability goals without compromising on quality or reliability.
