Environmental Statement

The Solo Pak Portion Control system offers many value added benefits for customers who want to choose environmentally responsible cleaning products.

Key contributors to the environmental outcome are as follows:

1. Responsible Manufacturing
   Solo Pak endeavor to conserve natural resources.
   We recycle all cardboard waste from the plant and participate to a waste exchange program for all liquid waste that is generated in the facility.
2. Safer Ingredients
   Solo Pak products are formulated to deliver optimum cleaning performance without resorting to the use of extreme pH (acid or alkali) or toxic solvents. Naturally sourced ingredients are incorporated wherever possible while biodegradability is an essential characteristic of all materials used.
   This translates to practical benefits in 3 areas:
   1. The Natural Environment. Solo Pak products do not lead to pH shock, poisoning with toxic solvents or eutrification of water systems.
   2. The Built Environment. The use of non-hazardous products will minimise the damage to building surfaces when hazardous cleaners are used. Effective cleaners minimise the level of abrasion damage caused by Suds Without Substance cleaning products. Surfaces will have a longer life and look better during service. Maintenance costs will be reduced as a result.
   3. The Building Occupants. Solo Pak products are designed in accordance with Cleaning for Health programs whereby Sick Building Syndrome is avoided. Building Users will enjoy a pleasant work environment that is conducive to maximum productivity.
3. Less Chemical.
   Portion Control is a proven concept for controlling usage and reducing waste by multinational fast food franchises. Overuse and waste of detergents is a major contributor to environmental damage. Less wastage of detergents means less chemical discharged to the environment and a better environmental outcome.
4. Less Packaging to Land Fill.
   Solo Pak products are shipped to site in small polyethylene bags protected by a cardboard carton. Products are diluted in dispensers which can be reused for many years. The quantity of packaging discarded to Land Fill is reduced by greater than 90% when compared to systems using large metal and plastic drums. This is a major benefit as land fill space becomes less available into the future.
5. Less Freight.
   Solo Pak Super Concentrated Detergents occupy one tenth of the space and weight of conventional detergents which are shipped in drums because the water is added at the point of use with Solo Pak rather than at the Chemical Factory. Greenhouse gasses produced freighting detergent are reduced to a minimum.

The combined effect of these features is that Solo Pak Systems offer substantial benefit toward environmentally responsible detergent usage.
