NEWydd Catering & Cleaning, a Local Authority Trading Company under Flintshire County Council, provides vital catering and cleaning services to 200+ sites across North Wales, including schools, care homes, and public buildings.
As their longstanding supplier of cleaning and janitorial products, Arrow County Supplies has developed a close partnership with NEWydd, providing tailored, innovative, and environmentally sustainable cleaning solutions.
The Problem
Sustainability is a core value for NEWydd, particularly given their significant presence in schools, where environmental awareness is high among students. To further their commitment to sustainability, NEWydd recognised the need to address several key challenges in their cleaning operations. These included:
Harmful
chemicals
Non-recyclable packaging
Over-dosing of cleaning products
Posing significant risks to local biodiversity and water streams.
Conflicting with the Council’s zero-waste goals
Leading to products needing to be replaced more often and increasing costs.
The Solution
Arrow County Supplies worked closely with NEWydd to introduce a range that addressed their sustainability concerns. After conducting a comprehensive review of their cleaning operations, We recommended the implementing the Green Care® chemical range and the Quick & Easy® dosing system.
Green Care® products, known for their eco-friendly, non-toxic formulation, would help reduce the reliance on harmful chemicals while protecting the health and safety of staff. Additionally, the Quick & Easy® dosing system would prevent over-dosing and reduce waste, while eliminating the need for single-use plastic trigger spray bottles.
A proposal was presented to the NEWydd Operations Team, and a trial was launched at two key sites. This trial involved introducing the Green Care® products and provided an opportunity to assess their effectiveness in real-world conditions.
The Outcome
The trial was a resounding success, with cleaners praising the new Green Care® chemicals for their efficiency and ease of use. The positive feedback led to a phased rollout of the products across all NEWydd sites – allowing NEWydd to develop a truly eco-friendly cleaning service.
