A challenge many organizations face is the waste created from their cleaning products. Given that conventional cleaning products are mostly water, this drives up the costs and impacts of transportation and results in greater amounts of waste being generated by the end-user.
When Vibraclean Corporate Housekeeping came across a better, eco-friendly product line called Pak-It that concentrates the cleaning formula in order to limit waste and water transportation, they introduced the idea of using it at FedEx facilities. FedEx agreed to a three-month trial and Vibraclean utilized the new solution at the sites under their care.
The results were an unequivocal success, demonstrating a number of benefits, including eliminating waste, saving storage space and reducing costs, while preserving the overall cleanliness of their facilities.
FedEx was so pleased that they switched permanently to Pak-It products with Vibraclean. The benefits of switching were tangible and exciting. After one year of use, FedEx YYZR effectively reduced the environmental footprint of their cleaning products, with the following results:
- 428 one-gallon bottles kept out of landfill
- 108 cardboard boxes never used for packaging
- 0 km travelled to transport the 428 gallons of cleaning products from the manufacturer to its facility
- $0 cost increase to FedEx for switching to Pak-It (a substantial savings resulted)
