Protecting the Environment isn't a choice, it's a responsibility

It is widely acknowledged that we have until 2050 to reach a net zero CO2e position globally to prevent serious climate change effects. Very few products or technologies consider their carbon footprint despite data and technology being available, but some, including BioHygiene do.

Long-term studies show how traditional chemical technologies damage the human respiratory system, increase the risk of cancers and cause long-term skin damage. This can be stopped with new technologies rather than utilising CLP classification cut offs to hide the true effects.

Traditional and commonly used chemicals typically have high aquatic toxicity, resist breakdown and bio-accumulate, damaging aquatic life. Scientific evidence has shown that dilution is not the solution and that despite tighter legislation, the only permanent solution is to stop using chemicals that are highly toxic to aquatic life.

Microplastics have been found throughout our oceans and through this have found their way into animal and human food chains. There is an estimated 200 million tonnes in the Atlantic alone and in July 2020, a major study by the Pew Trusts found that on current trends the amount of plastic entering the oceans was likely to triple in the next 20 years.
