Sustainability

care for the environment

Annually an average household uses between 20 and 40 Ltr  conventional detergents and home cleaners. On a population in the UK of 64 million we are talking about 1280 to 2560 million Litres cleaning agents including toxic ingredients, harmful substances for human and environment, that end up through the sewer system at water treatment plants (apart from what ends up in our aquatic eco-system), water to be purified as new fresh water supply. Fact at present is the increasing difficulty, in recent summers occasionally critical, to purify these hazardeous pollutants from the water.

Environmentally-friendly detergents and cleaning agents are essential for clean waters.

People and Environment at the forefront. Sustainability in core business means our firm belief that responsible products are ecologically up-to-date in terms of performance, efficacy, it’s ecological footprint, and thus provide our customers through clear market profile a long-term meaningful added value, and entrepreneurial success. In this respect form external eco-accreditations an integral part of our environmental friendly product lines with it’s environmental credentials without compromising to it’s competitiveness in the market place. Both eco laundry liquid cleaners and fabric conditioners are being reformulated – ultra concentrated – , delivering equivalent performance at lower dosage, thereby reducing the impact on the environment particularly in terms of packaging and distribution

Keywords are: eco guarantee, hypoallergenic / dermatology, distinctiveness and cleaning performance, independently tested by 3rd party accredited test institute against benchmarks (National Brands).

Environmental Management System: through ISO 14001 certification take a systematic, comprehensive management approach, where the basis is compliance with all current environmental regulations and environmentally friendly, efficient production processes, and contemplate social aspects.

At VFC we make a clear distinction in our eco product portfolio between:

With the increased popularity and diversity of green products it is evidently clear, besides food retail organizations carry a few A-Brands (National Brands), they do also launched several Private Label products. Looking at cleaning performance, it appears from product comparison tests not all National Brands score well as expected, and despite their premium price levels, in terms of product ‘contents / composition’ some are just to be amongst above mentioned first category. Therefore, it can be invaluable to distinguish your product line from the competition through upscaled premium formulations and packaging. An increasing number of our customers wanted their Private Label product lines to stand up to the strictest scrutiny and above all be greenwashing free. We were and remain at the forefront to design several lines of green private label products that address all environmental and health aspects by means ECOCERT, and EcoLogo certified formulations, 100% essential oils for fragrance, no dyes and 100% post-consumer plastic bottles.
