Practical ways to reduce product waste
Practical choices—such as using the correct dilution, selecting suitable pack sizes and avoiding unnecessary stock—can reduce waste in everyday cleaning routines.
- Use concentrates according to the label's dilution instructions
- Choose products and pack sizes suited to the cleaning task
- Ask which bulk or refill pack sizes are available
- Planned ordering that helps regular users avoid unnecessary stock
