Ethical cleaning company Bio-D has seen a 100% increase in sales of its refills products over the past year.

The Hull-based business is the UK’s leading manufacturer of environmentally responsible, ethically sound, hypoallergenic, vegan cleaning products, producing five litre and 15 litre refill versions of their cleaning products in a bid to reduce the use of single-use plastics.

Bio-D has spent 2019 focusing on increasing the number of products available in refill sizes – recently adding 5L refills of Bathroom Cleaner, lavender scented Washing-Up Liquid and Glass and Mirror Cleaner to the range.

Lloyd Atkin, Managing Director of Bio-D, said: “One of our main values as an eco-friendly business is to help reduce waste in any way possible, so its brilliant to see that sales of our refill bottles have increased so significantly.

“Climate change is a topic very much at the forefront of everyone’s mind, and it’s great that people are taking notice and making an effort to help reduce their carbon footprint.”

Founded in 1989, Bio-D create cleaning products that don’t cost the earth in any sense, using plant-based and naturally derived ingredients, and 100% recyclable bottled packaging. Over 84% of bottled packaging is also created from recycled materials that may have otherwise ended up in landfill.

Last year saw Bio-D also sign up to The New Plastics Economy Global Commitment, led by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. Drawing a line in the sand and supporting a vision where plastics never become waste, businesses that have signed up to the commitment aim to eliminate single-use plastics from their operations and invest in new technology so that 100% of their packaging can be recycled by 2025.
