Sustainability is a buzzword that we have been hearing non-stop for the past few years. Truly aiming for sustainability is more than just a buzzword, though. It is a move towards living in a way that honours the resources of the planet that we all share. It allows us to use those resources responsibly, in a way that means there will be enough resources left for the generations that come after us. Every industry must do its bit. So, let’s take a quick look at commercial cleaning and sustainability.
Clean and Green
In many industries, it is a topic that they have been woefully ignorant of for a long time. This is why it is more important than ever that we find a way to function sustainably as a society. If we want to limit global warming and turn the tables on environmental degradation, we (all of the human beings who share planet Earth) must reduce our carbon emissions by 50 per cent before the year 2030. Furthermore, get them down to Net Zero by 2050.
This responsibility rests on the shoulders of people in every country and in every industry. Some people run automotive repair services, others run retail stores or canning factories, and some people run business cleaning services.
For too long, we have used cleaning products, detergents, bleaches and even cleaning companies that just do not line up with a green agenda, and it is time for a change. Fortunately, many cleaning service owners have read the writing on the wall. They are now adjusting their processes and taking responsibility for their contribution to carbon emissions as well as their contribution to helping fix the problem sustainably.
