We're already making great strides with our CSR commitments, by making our plant containers from fiberglass rather than plastic. Replacing plastic with a less energy intensive container means we're consuming less carbon-based finite product, improving recycling and end of life treatment options, and reducing Greenhouse gas emissions. This helps reduce our plant pot carbon footprint by over 50%. We also source containers manufactured using wind power to further reduce our carbon impact.
We're excited to be the official sponsor of this years @edie Sustainability Leaders Awards, held at the Park Plaza Westminster on 30th of March.

Revolutionary infrared drying process picks up first award! phsâ Drysafe halves garment drying times A new, innovative infrared drying process, which halves the time it takes to dry garments, has picked up its first award. The brainchild of phs Besafe, one of the UKâs leading commercial cleaning and workwear providers, âDrysafeâ uses infrared sensors to constantly monitor the moisture levels in the garments and the core temperature of the drum. This ensures a constant drying temperature and an automatic stop once the garment is dry; halving the time the machine needs to run, saves energy and prolongs the life of the garment. It was awarded the Green Impact Award at the Laundry and Drycleaning Awards 2020 (LADAs).
