Green Mark provides an internationally recognised environmental certification for companies to indorse their overall environmental performance. The certification process assesses, audits and certifies a business’ impact on the environment and wider community.

Futures Supplies have been able to demonstrate through this certification process, to our clients, employees and the wider community, that we are conducting business to the highest possible standard.

Purva Shah, Green Mark’s Customer Support Executive commented ‘I would like to say a big congratulations on achieving Green Mark Level 2! You had a fantastic submission and scored almost 100% across the board which is an amazing achievement’.

Small Steps Have a Big Impact!

At Futures Supplies we recognise that our business activities have an unavoidable impact on the environment. Our approach is therefor to support the environment by continually striving to make it part of our ethos to reduce the creation of waste through recycling.

This approach is applied throughout our organisation and through third parties involved in, or with our business, in such a way to facilitate the protection of the environment. We are committed wherever possible and practicable to sustainable practices, encouraging similar standards from all customers, suppliers, and contractors on environmental matters.

As part of this commitment to reduce, reuse, and recycle, we strategically segregate all our scrap plastic film waste such as stretch pallet wrap, pallet covers and plastic packaging.

This plastic waste is collected on pallets by our supply partners and reprocessed into recycled pellet ready to be re blown into new films for reuse in the recycled range of refuse sacks we sell thereby closing the recycling loop.

We have also successfully implemented measures to reduce and recycling all of our paper, card and plastics. Our printer cartridges are recycled and postage stamps are recycled through the Royal National Institute of Blind People.

Regularly independently audited and recognised with numerous green accolades, we currently recycle over 75% of our waste, proving small steps can have a big impact!

Innovative Biotech Toilet Roll Delivers Savings

Biotech contains five different types of good microorganisms, which are totally harmless for us and the environment but remove incrustations and smelly substances from the pipes. You don’t have to wait long to see results in just four weeks the cleaning action of Biotech toilet paper helps eliminates blockages, nasty odours and other dirt from the pipes.

Constant use of Biotech reduces the need for the mechanical cleaning of sewerage systems, hence reducing maintenance costs. Sample studies carried out on tourism/accommodation premises with an average of 100 visitors daily demonstrated that the exclusive use of Biotech radically reduces the need to unblock the sewerage system and makes for some considerable savings – up to 40% as compared to using standard toilet paper.

One of our own customer trials clearly demonstrates how effective the product is in large office complexes where plumbing can be an issue call us if you would like to see the results.

As well as cleaning pipes, the good microorganisms in Biotech toilet paper contribute to eliminating surfactants emitted by cleaning products, and once the active action is complete, they biodegrade without leaving any residue.

Thanks to BATP technology, which forms the basis of the Biotech product, the simple action of throwing toilet paper into the water is transformed into an action of respect for the environment.
