The road to sustainability
Reducing packaging waste
From our class leading ‘paper wrapped in paper’approach (eliminating plastic use and focusing on recycled FSC accredited and sustainable material sources) to utilising bamboo or sugar cane materials in our paper products, we are delivering cost effective and sustainable solutions to our customers.
Product Packaging
Where possible, we use no packaging in product supply and replace plastic containers with cardboard alternatives.
phs Lifecycle Strategy
In 2023, we diverted 92% of our customers hygiene waste away from landfill and turned it into renewable energy.
Depots and Offices
In our own phs workplaces, we are now producing 40% less waste thanks to more efficient recycling procedures.
Product Refurbishment
We have an inhouse team of experts who focus on refurbishing and recycling our products to prolong their life.
Air Fragrancing
The aerosols for our air fresheners are 100% recycled after a service.
Compliant Disposal
Used batteries from our products are recycled via the National Battery Back Scheme.
Reducing packaging waste
Where possible, phs will strongly advocate the use of concentrate chemicals as a safe and effective method to reduce the number of containers and single use plastic, with the use of reusable trigger spray bottles.
Reducing Waste: The Circular Economy
Waste minimisation and recycling considerations are embedded within the phs culture as part of our broader Environmental Policy. phs operates a system based on the waste hierarchy as set out in the DEFRA National Waste Strategy.
