Sustainable Waste Disposal
We are at the forefront of sustainable waste management within the hygiene sector; as part of the phs LifeCycle Strategy, our partnerships with energy-from-waste (EfW) networks across the UK enable us to divert up to 95% of the offensive waste we collect from our customers away from landfill and turn it into a source of renewable energy instead.
An ethical supply chain
phs manages a robust and ethical supply chain consisting of a fully vetted preferred supplier list. Our Supplier Code of Conduct sets out the minimum requirements we look for in the businesses we work with. We are accredited by EcoVadis, who provide independent Corporate Social Responsibility ratings, and are registered on the SEDEX database, which allows organisations to store and view data on ethical and responsible business practices.
