Why Hyperconcentrated Sustainable Products Are the Key
The push towards sustainability is shaping industries worldwide, and the cleaning sector is no exception.
With the inclusion of Scope 3 in emission reporting, facility management and commercial cleaning organisations must adopt sustainable cleaning practices to remain competitive.
These practices include chemical-free cleaning, biodegradable products, safer formulations, reduced shipping weight (and thus carbon footprint), and waste reduction.
One key innovation leading the charge is hyperconcentrated cleaning products like CLINISAN. But what exactly are they, and why are they so essential for a sustainable future?
What Are Hyperconcentrated Cleaning Products?
Hyperconcentrated cleaning products are highly concentrated formulations that eliminate most of the water content found in traditional cleaning solutions.
This results in smaller, lighter products that retain their full cleaning power in a compact form.
This innovation drastically reduces shipping and storage weight while minimising waste. Instead of transporting large volumes of water across the country or internationally—creating unnecessary carbon emissions—end users simply add water to a pre-measured, concentrated dose at the point of use.
Pre-measured hyperconcentrated products have long been common in industries like dishwashing (e.g., pods) and laundry (e.g., powders). Now, their adoption in commercial and domestic cleaning is accelerating.
How Hyperconcentrated Products Are Driving Sustainability
- Reducing Packaging Waste
Traditional cleaning products generate significant packaging waste, particularly single-use plastic containers for ready-to-use solutions. Hyperconcentrated products can reduce packaging volume by up to 50 times, and innovative dispensing methods are emerging that eliminate single-use plastic altogether.
- Cutting Down on Water Transport
Most cleaning products contain approximately 90% water. Transporting this unnecessary weight adds considerable costs and emissions. By eliminating water from the shipping process, hyperconcentrated products make supply chains cleaner, more efficient, and less wasteful.
- Lowering the Carbon Footprint
Smaller, lighter products require less packaging and transportation, significantly reducing their carbon footprint. With fewer resources needed for production, transport, and disposal, hyperconcentrated products represent a more eco-friendly solution. This shift contributes to reducing the overall carbon footprint of the cleaning industry.
Overcoming Challenges: Simplifying Dilution for Consistency
One challenge with hyperconcentrated products is ensuring correct dilution, particularly for businesses with large, dispersed teams. Standardising cleaning procedures and ensuring staff understand dilution ratios can be a concern.
The solution lies in user-friendly dispensing systems with pre-measured doses. Leading innovations in this space include dissolvable tablets, pods, and sachets, which simplify the process and maintain consistency across teams.
The Future of Sustainable Cleaning
The future of cleaning is moving decisively towards sustainable, hyperconcentrated solutions. As demand for eco-friendly products grows, more companies are developing effective, environmentally responsible alternatives.
By embracing hyperconcentrated products, the cleaning industry can significantly reduce waste and lower carbon emissions—creating a more sustainable future while helping businesses meet their environmental goals.
Switching to these products isn’t just an environmentally responsible choice—it’s a smart business decision that enhances efficiency and reduces costs. As sustainability continues to shape the industry, hyperconcentrated cleaning products are set to become the new standard.
Now is the time to rethink cleaning practices and make a lasting impact on the environment, one hyperconcentrated solution at a time.
