Sustainability
At Hygiene Systems, our mission is clear: deliver top-tier hygiene products and services that safeguard people and the planet. We seamlessly integrate sustainability into our practices without compromising the high standards of hygiene that are essential in our industry.
Whether it’s the design of a new piece of equipment, the source of a new consumable or simply a change in internal procedures, sustainability is at the forefront of every decision we make.
Recognising the challenge of balancing effective hygiene with environmental impact, we invest significant time and resources into continuously innovating our products and services, setting us apart and ensuring we stay well ahead of the industry.
Planet
Conscious of our environmental impact, we prioritise reducing our footprint, not only in our operations but also for our Customers. We are focused on minimising energy consumption, emissions, and waste
Introducing electric vehicles (EVs) across our operations and sales teams is one step we're taking to significantly reduce emissions, with plans to expand their use across our entire fleet.
Our operational waste is recycled where possible. From cardboard to washroom service consumables, we prioritise responsible disposal and recycling practices to minimise our environmental impact.
Since 2019, we've slashed our energy usage by 35% and reduced vehicle emissions by 18%, with a goal of hitting 40% emission reduction by 2030. Our emissions per service have also decreased by 25% since 2019.
Sustainable Products and Systems
Continuing our journey towards a greener future, we innovate and design products with circularity in mind, minimising waste and maximising their potential to be reused or recycled
Responsible consumption is evident across our operations and product range. Our dispensers eliminate wasteful usage, a prime example is our Autotowel dispenser which can reduce your paper waste by up to 40%.
Our equipment boasts a modular design, facilitating component reuse and extending product lifecycles to prevent landfill waste. Our in-house product designers continually innovate to improve the circularity of products. Green design initiatives have led to up to a 90% reduction in plastic use in some product lines.
Hoop 247, our online ordering platform, enhances efficiency and response time while promoting a paper-free environment.
All of our paper products are sourced from FSC-certified manufacturers, meaning our paper products are sourced from renewable forests.
People
Hygiene matters and we are proud to know that our high-quality and reliable products and services are actively safeguarding people.
As a hygiene company, we are heavily invested in the well-being of all people. From the development of our products to the execution of our services, we prioritise the well-being of our customers, employees, and the wider community.
By sharing knowledge of best practices, we aim to empower individuals to make informed decisions regarding their health and well-being.
Through innovative pricing structures, community outreach programs, or strategic partnerships, we are dedicated to making quality hygiene products and services accessible to all.
Our dedicated hygiene consultants work with customers to ensure they are meeting their sustainability goals while maintaining excellent hygiene outcomes.
Rechargeable batteries
The next stage in our quest is to challenge and change the industry tradition of using single-use batteries.
It’s been a decade in the making, but recent advances in energy density, lifespan and cost have allowed us to finally enter into the commercialisation of reliable and safe rechargeable batteries for our equipment.
The first module will power all new Autotowel dispensers and will flow through to our other units in time. We anticipate the Autotowel units will be ready for market in 2025.
Sanitary waste
A sustainable and environmentally friendly solution for sanitary waste disposal. Our Femcare bin is serviced with P-Max, a long-lasting, slow-release antimicrobial sanitising granule that immediately treats the waste and eliminates viruses, pathogens, and odours without the use of harmful chemicals.
Service frequencies are determined by site usage and requirements, reducing carbon emissions and improving scheduling efficiency.
Our sister company in New Zealand were the first hygiene company in Australasia to offer in-cubicle service and cleaning. We've saved millions of litres of water, reduced carbon emissions and established a new industry standard and now we've brought that approach over to Australia.
