Global Recycling Day is the world’s leading recycling initiative, celebrated annually on 18th March. Established in 2018, it highlights the vital role recycling plays in preserving our natural resources and protecting the future of our planet.
Each year, billions of tonnes of natural resources are consumed—and these finite materials are running out. That’s why it’s more important than ever to rethink what we throw away, seeing not waste, but opportunity.
Could Your Washroom Be Part of the Solution?
At South West Hygiene, we’ve been delivering expert washroom services for over 30 years. As holders of ISO 14001 Environmental Management certification, we are committed to providing environmentally responsible, efficient solutions that help our clients reduce their impact.
Did you know? All of our waste is converted into energy and fed back into the National Grid, helping to power homes and businesses across the UK.
Beyond reducing energy and water consumption, we offer a wide range of sustainable products designed to help your business go greener:
- Recycled sanitary units made from HDPE plastic offcuts that would otherwise go to waste
- Antimicrobial sanitary bin liners that eliminate the need for germicidal powder—saving over 5,000 plastic bottles every year
- Oxygen-powered air fresheners with fully recyclable cartridges, offering a cleaner alternative to traditional aerosols
- Refillable soap systems, developed in partnership with AUK Hygiene, using reusable 10L containers to eliminate single-use plastics and unnecessary packaging
Sustainability Across Every Detail
We recognise that energy and water usage are key environmental concerns—and your washroom is a great place to make meaningful reductions.
Our solutions include:
- Smart water management systems that adjust usage based on footfall, ensuring water is only used when needed
- Eco hand dryers with some of the lowest energy consumption in the UK, combining fast drying times with modern, stylish designs
