Noonan leads the change in plastic transformation

The concerning rise in plastic pollution is an ongoing environmental challenge and the rate in which it is produced is seemingly impossible to cope with.

An alarming 40% of single-use plastic products can stay in the environment for hundreds of years. Put into context, that is a piece of plastic we use once, and throw away, which lives in the environment longer than we exist, causing harm to ecosystems, wildlife, and ultimately, our planet. For this reason, Noonan has decided to remove single-use plastics from its business. Reducing its use of premixed, ready-to-use cleaning chemicals is a key initiative to achieve this.

The business estimates this change will enable it to remove 95% of its plastic chemical containers and remove c80,000 single-use plastic bottles per year. By procuring its chemicals in a highly concentrated format the company can dramatically cut the amount of plastic and cardboard used, together with reducing the frequency of deliveries, having a significant impact on its carbon emissions.
