How A New Green Technology Partnership Is Cleaning Up Facilities Management
With sustainable processes front of mind for all facilities management specialists, it’s never been more important to find affordable alternatives to harmful chemical-based cleaning products.
An expanded partnership between phs Group and GreenTeck Global is set to make it easier than ever for organisations across the UK to clean up their sustainability credentials and minimise their environmental impact – all while benefitting their bottom line.
From this spring, customers of the country’s leading hygiene service provider will be able to benefit from two 100% natural technologies that deliver the highest hygiene standards without traditional COSHH concerns, helping change the way the industry works for the better.
As part of the agreement, phs customers will be able to access GreenTeck’s pioneering AquaTeck technology, which harnesses the powerful natural sterilisation and odour-destroying properties of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) to help businesses embrace greener ways of working.
The wall-mountable AquaTeck SC-100 and portable AquaTeck Mini units combine ordinary tap water with food‑grade salt and vinegar, using a diamond electrode flow cell to create the HOCl multipurpose disinfectant. With HOCl easy to produce on-demand, and proven to destroy 99.99% of bacteria, viruses and pathogens, the versatile sanitising solution naturally reverts to its constituent parts, making it simple and safe to pour away after use.
There is no doubt that the Covid-19 pandemic reinforced the importance of companies finding the most effective ways to ensure the highest possible hygiene levels across every client and employee touch point. However, with this pressure coinciding with growing expectations from customers to feel confident they’re benefitting from the most stringent and sustainable standards, the expanded phs partnership will prove a game-changing move for many UK organisations.
In addition to its powerful green cleaning properties, the innovative AquaTeck products help organisations produce the multipurpose disinfectant on-site and on-demand. Not only does this help further increase efficiencies by reducing costs and avoiding any supply-chain challenges – giving companies full control over usage, costs and logistics – but it also helps companies dramatically reduce their plastic use.
GreenTeck Global’s emphasis on reusable bottles and refillable equipment has already saved over 100,000 single‑use plastic bottles from waste since 2021, with the AquaTeck technology one of the most effective ways that they have helped organisations reduce plastic pollution. Given the energy-intensive qualities of plastic production, this refill over landfill approach has an important and positive role to play on carbon footprint.
The recent COP 27 summit helped hammer home the need for all industry players to move towards greener products and shake up the facilities management world for the better. In the case of phs and GreenTeck Global customers, this means access to an expanded range of simple solutions to sustainability that are better for the workplace, environment and profit margins.
phs Groups’s move to embrace greener technologies follows the success of it introducing GreenTeck Global’s odour-destroying ECOFLOW washroom system to its UK client base in summer 2022 as part of a five-year distribution deal.
At a time when costs are rising on all fronts, from chemical to energy supply, it’s never been more important for businesses to find ways to save money and keep prices down – all while maintaining the highest standards for their clients. phs Group’s decision to expand its range of efficiency-improving green technologies will therefore help companies be more self-sufficient and potentially reduce costs by up to 70% in the process.
By championing all-natural COSHH-free systems that are powerful, biodegradable and respect the planet, companies switching to AquaTeck eco-friendly on-site products also stand to boost safety levels for customers and employees alike. Proof that going green makes good business sense and can deliver a future designed with people, the planet as well as profits in mind.
