Our environmental benchmarks and how we are making a difference
At Nviro, we are committed to creating initiatives that have a positive impact on the environment which leads towards a sustainable and eco-friendly future.
Our Environmental initiatives
Waste
Introducing centralised binning and recycling roadshows helps reduce the amount of waste that our clients send to landfill. We work with our clients to help them increase recycling rates and reduce waste. Innovative recycling schemes help us to recycle the unrecyclable, such a cigarette butts, while the lifecycle of machinery and equipment is prolonged through WEEE schemes and spare parts.
Water
Our i-mops reduce the amount of water we use and we donate clean water to developing countries. In 2023, we reduced our water consumption by 529,980 litres and donated 433,620 litres. Nviro’s window cleaning partners use waste greywater for efficient cleaning and our chemicals are safe for aquatic life and the water system.
Vehicles
All our cars are hybrid and although we’ve not yet been able to replace our van fleet, we have implemented fuel-reducing driving technology and encourage our team to use public transport wherever practical. In 2023, we reduced emissions by 13 tonnes by driving more effectively. This technology also reduces accidents and keeps people safe.
Equipment
Energy-efficient machinery and equipment helps us keep our footprint down. We are moving to UK manufacturers, improving accessibility to repairs and reducing the carbon footprint of each machine’s lifecycle. Innovative manufacturing, such as reflo recycled plastic vacuum cleaners and
Consumables
We work with supply partners at the top of their game to ensure that we are reducing emissions, reducing single use plastic and recycling as much as we can. Our products use circular economy principles for ethical manufacturing – such as planting four trees for every one used – and are locally sourced and manufactured where possible.
Chemicals
We use OdorBac wherever possible as it has no negative environmental impact and still provides excellent results in cleaning and hygiene. Closed loop recycling for the products we use helps us eliminate single use plastics and we are pioneering chemical free options where we can. In 2023, closed loop recycling reduced emissions by 82 kgCO2e. OdorBac has no COSHH, meaning its environmental impact is negligible.
Energy
We’re carbon neutral. In 2023, we offset our business emissions through investment into a hydroelectric dam in Turkey through an ICROA-accredited scheme but are working with key clients to look at ways of offsetting emissions in the UK.
Case study:
We are proud to be working in partnership with Lightfoot to use fleet management technology across all our commercial vehicles to lower our carbon footprint. We prevent an extra 13 tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere each year - simply through driving in a more environmentally friendly way across our vehicle fleet.
