Bowdraper is dedicated to enhancing its sustainability practices by minimising waste and increasing recycling efforts. This initiative aims to integrate sustainable practices into all aspects of our operations, demonstrating our commitment to environmental stewardship and corporate social responsibility. By embracing these changes, we aim to reduce our environmental footprint, meet regulatory requirements, and appeal to environmentally conscious clients.
Bowdraper adopts sustainable practices that not only help the environment but also align with legislation and consumer preferences. That’s why we differentiate ourselves within a cleaning industry which can be a significant contributor to environmental pollution. At Bowdraper we use biodegradable cleaning products and manage the generation of waste through reuse and recycling of our cleaning equipment.
• Reduced Waste Generation: A commitment to decrease the volume of waste we produce.
We support the circular economy - a system where practical materials never become waste.
In a circular economy, products and materials are kept in circulation through processes like maintenance, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacture, recycling, and composting.
A great example of this our program of reconditioning our fleet of Henry vacuums which involves restoring these popular vacuum cleaners to their optimal working condition, extending their lifespan and preventing unnecessary waste from going to landfill. The process includes a thorough inspection to identify any worn-out or damaged parts, followed by a full clean, replacement of filters, and fitting new components such as brushes, motors and hoses. We would challenge you to tell the difference!
By refurbishing Henry vacuums, our cleaners and customers enjoy the same high performance and reliability a new unit would provide without the detrimental environmental impact.
This approach not only saves unnecessary cost but also supports environmental sustainability by minimising the number of discarded appliances and conserving the resources required to produce new ones.
We are also proud that when purchasing office materials, equipment and hardware we prioritise sourcing from suppliers specialising in refurbished equipment. The majority of our most recent furniture and IT equipment purchases have come from recycled office equipment providers. We are proud to have prevented the unnecessary disposal of equipment and to have saved the resources that would have been needed to produce new products.
