5 tips for a greener washroom facility

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword it’s a responsibility. And your washroom might be one of the easiest (and most overlooked) places to start making eco-conscious greener washroom improvements.

As a Zero Landfill company, Hygenie is committed to helping businesses make smarter, greener washroom choices without compromising on hygiene, performance, or style. Whether you manage a school, workplace, or public venue here’s five ways to make your facilities more environmentally friendly this season.

 

1: Upgrade to water-saving systems

Water is precious, yet many commercial washrooms waste thousands of litres unnecessarily. Our water-saving urinal systems use intelligent flush control and sensor technology to reduce water usage by up to 70%, without compromising hygiene or odour control.

✅ Ideal for high-traffic environments
✅ Quick to install
✅ Immediate utility cost savings

 

2: Choose energy-efficient hand dryers

Ditch the paper towels – not just for cost but for carbon impact. Our energy-efficient hand dryers (including low-noise, low-energy models ideal for schools) deliver thousands of dries per £1 of electricity compared to just hundreds for paper towel disposal.

 

3: Embrace our zero landfill promise

Every product and service we provide, from sanitary waste disposal to hand towel bins is collected, treated, and diverted from landfill. Instead, your washroom waste is converted into energy to help power the UK.

✅ Fully traceable
✅ Eco-conscious contracts
✅ Peace of mind for your business

 

4: Invest in Entrance Mats

Our branded mats do more than keep your floors clean. They reduce internal cleaning needs, trap pollutants at the door, and prevent slips during rainy and icy months.

With autumn/winter approaching, now’s the perfect time to order your logo mats or anti-slip solutions, all part of our Washroom Wellness range.

 

5: Track Progress with Ecologi

Hygenie partners with Ecologi to fund climate-positive projects, support tree-planting, and track our carbon reduction.

In the first half of 2025 alone, we’ve:

  • 🌳 Funded 180 trees
  • 💨 Avoided 25 tonnes of carbon emissions

It’s all part of making our business (and yours) as sustainable, responsible, and forward-thinking as possible.
