Helping companies everywhere slash their cleaning carbon footprint by enabling chemical concentrates dilution on site

We love talking about our suppliers at Avanti. Especially when we can point to a real gain that they can give to the companies that use their products. Today, the spotlight is on Evans Vanodine!

Evans Vanodine is a supplier with an impeccable pedigree. The company has been developing and manufacturing consistent, efficient and cost-effective cleaning and hygiene products for more than a century.

It’s a strong fit for Avanti because it also retains its family heritage – the fifth generation of Evans is now working for the firm!

It provides a range of eco-friendly cleaning options that we have put front and centre of our own range of greener cleaning choices for our customers.

Smarter cleaning choices that help cut carbon

Many of the Evans Vanodine products deliver a weighty sustainability dividend for our customers. Choosing these can make a real contribution to reducing the weight of water on the roads, and cutting their carbon footprint.

Did you know that road haulage represents a whopping 37% of the UK’s domestic transport carbon emissions?

HGVs account for 20% of that. They pour 21 million tonnes of carbon dioxide into the air each year. Vans account for the rest, emitting a further 18 million tonnes.

Reducing the need for road haulage is key to helping clean up the environment.  Which means that transporting more products in the same vehicle capacity makes a huge difference.

Concentrating on the environment

Small wonder that cleaning chemical concentrates are increasingly popular domestically, as well as commercially.

For our business customers, the Evans e:dose range of super concentrates is a firm favourite. They are:

• blissfully easy to store on site without taking up tons of space
• simple to prepare - dosing caps make it easy to pour a single dose into a refillable spray bottle which can be topped up with tap water
• easy to use correctly – colour-coded labels and liquids with coordinated spray bottles makes it crystal clear which product is for which purpose

These products are precisely dosed so there is also less wastage – this, plus the ease of storage make these a highly cost-efficient bulk purchase for facilities management and cleaning.

A 1 litre bottle of a concentrate can produce up to 100 spray bottles or 50 buckets of perfectly balanced cleaning solution – whether that’s for all-purpose cleaning, heavy duty hard surface cleaning, sanitising surfaces or degreasing them.

Savings as well as sustainability

Active Lifestyle Centres is a client to whom Avanti supplies cleaning and hygiene products across many of its leisure sites. By working with us to identify some smart swaps, the group has not just saved more than £25,000 annually but also trimmed its chemicals list from 50 to just 12 types across the company. Swapping to high concentrate sanitisers alone reduced the cost for these from £1160 to just £68 per year.

Evans walks the walk on sustainable cleaning

Evans takes its sustainability responsibilities to heart. It created the Evans GreenTick – its own kitemark and standard, which applies to the e:dose and many other ranges.

To do this, it developed a system for monitoring the impact of all its products, paying attention to manufacturing, formulation, usage and disposal. Read about the Evans GreenTick here.

The company is also Planet Mark accredited – something that Avanti is striving to achieve too. Read about the Avanti sustainability journey here.
