Achievement/Success/outcome.
Procurement of environmentally friendly cleaning products to our contractors. The standard of cleanliness has improved using greener products, as opposed to using "old-style" polluting chemical cleaning material.
Description of Achievement.
We sourced and procured environmentally friendly, natural cleaning products for use by our contractor in the toilet cleansing contract. In so doing, this has reduced the number of different types of chemical cleaner previously being used to now just using a single natural cleaning solution. This is also a cost saving for the authority.

By using environmentally friendly products it has improved the wellbeing end environment for West Devon residents and visitors.

Why was the project required? If applicable, how does it relate to the council"s priorities?
Fits in with Green Council principles and with corporate priorities of community wellbeing and environment.
Describe any barriers to the project & how you overcome them.
Sourcing suitable environmentaly friendly cleaning products appropriate to the many different types of surfaces/finishes across our 15 public toilet sites. By careful research, we have sourced a cleaning product which effectively cleans a comprehensive range of different surfaces.
What has been learnt from the achievement that can be used in other areas of work?
Alternative environmentally friendly products are as effective as more pollutive products.
