S.R. Furley Bidvest Noonan has announced a landmark sustainable cleaning initiative with DLR operator KeolisAmey Docklands.
The partners aim to increase the sustainability of cleaning operations by eliminating single-use plastics, reducing packaging by 95 per cent, and cutting product transport-related carbon emissions by 95 per cent across the DLR network.
The initiative is a major step forward in our commitment to sustainability.
Innovative cleaning solutions will be introduced across the automated light metro system which connects London financial districts Canary Wharf and the City of London, including pre-dosed formulations supplied in water-soluble sachets. This approach ensures precise usage, reduces waste, and eliminates the risk of chemical overdosing, which can negatively impact the environment.
The partnership has also transitioned to recyclable packaging with certified compostable pouches, underscoring a commitment to environmentally friendly practices.
Adam Prust, Key Account Director at Bidvest Noonan, says, “The initiative is a major step forward in our commitment to sustainability. We are protecting the environment and setting a new standard in our commitment for the reduction of single use of plastics across the DLR contract.”
“We are thrilled to partner with KeolisAmey Docklands on this initiative,” adds Keith Middleton, Managing Director at Bidvest Noonan. “This collaboration reflects our shared vision of creating a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable environment for commuters and staff alike. The new solutions make it easier and safer for our teams to perform their duties efficiently.”
The DLR, the busiest light railway in the UK, serves 100 million passenger journeys per year across its 40 km-long network.
