SimplyClean

Our Sustainability Framework

• Emissions & Key Environmental Issues

  What is your company doing to reduce your emissions or combat key environmental issues (e.g. waste (packaging, end of life product strategy or recycling), biodiversity, land use, water, chemical use, energy use, and natural resource use etc.)?

  SimplyClean Australia has made significant progress across its operations towards minimising environmental harm: - We reuse over 95% of empty returned containers. - 85% of our bottles are made from 100% reused plastic. - Over 99% of packaging is made in Australia, reducing miles. - Wastage of finished product is near to zero. New techniques allow us to extract every drop. - Packaging waste in production has reduced by 90% and 50% for landfill waste. - All soft plastics are recycled through the Bin Trim Program (similar to RedCycle but for business). - We’ve reduced lighting energy consumption by 54% over 2 years in our factory, warehouse and office. - We are 100% GreenPowered - We have initiated a water capture programme for post-manufacture wash water and are currently in the testing phase for water recycling. - Our consumer packaging makes use of former waste, as we shred all product label backing paper and reuse it as packing fill. Packing tape has converted to a biodegradable product. - We have reduced our use of plastic pallet wrap by 50%. - Broken wooden pallets are donated to local pallet maker and used to build new pallets. - All incoming metal drums and plastic barrels are repurposed and reused in our farmers.

• Materials

  How are the products your company offers made from environmentally friendly materials (e.g. recycled, organic materials)?

  All SimplyClean products are: - Biodegradable - Grey water safe - Septic safe* - Certified Cruelty-free & Vegan - Palm oil free - Toxin and sensitiser free - Free from SLES and SLS, parabens, PEGs, mineral oils, CDE and CMIT/MIT. Our Powered by Oxygen range uses the natural power of hydrogen peroxide to clean, and kill mould & germs, which then fully biodegrades to water and oxygen. We use pure Australian essential oils, giving our products a boost from nature.

• Community Initiatives

  How does your company give back to the community (e.g. financial donations, volunteering, partnerships etc.)?

  SimplyClean Australia has supported local charity, Friends of the Koala since 2017. Five cents from every SimplyClean purchase you make goes to support the rescue and rehabilitation of koalas that are injured, sick or orphaned. Friends of the Koala care for 50% of rescued koalas in NSW. Each year, the money raised from SimplyClean sales is enough to raise 18 orphaned koala joeys. We have donated over $65,000 so far.

• Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

  How has your company made a commitment to achieve and maintain inclusion & diversity (e.g. Gender / Race / Ethnicity / National Origin / Sexual Orientation / Religion / Disability / Age)?

  We are a small team and have a commitment to equality and inclusion.
