Pollet: your ecological partner
Environmental protection and more recently the fight against climate change, are topics that are very important to Pollet.
In fact, Pollet has been contributing to this cause for many years by including this concern in each of its decision-making processes.
- Since the 90s, Pollet has developed and marketed biotechnological cleaning products containing enzymes and/or bacteria, which are more environmentally-friendly components than conventional chemical products.
- In 2007, Pollet became the second Belgian company to obtain the European Ecolabel for one of its product lines, and we have obtained several other ecological certifications since then.
- Today, Pollet is focused on their three main product lines: PolGreen, PolBio and PolVita, which are particularly respectful of human beings and nature.
In 2018, eco-superior products represented 61% of our total production. Our ambition is to reach 70% by 2020.
Pollet and ecology
We make absolutely sure that all our products are biodegradable, that the raw materials are of renewable sources whenever possible, and that they come from areas close to our factory.
We also ensure that our packaging is environmentally friendly, this is especially the case for our Caps selection, where the packaging is fully recycled.
Since 2002, 100% of our electricity has been green, all our waste water is treated and all our waste is sorted as well.
Since 2017, the entire facilities – the offices and the production area – have been 100% carbon neutral, for a large part because of our participation in the carbon offset and compensation program in Uganda. This allows us to avoid 83 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
Pollet does not intend to stop there and, with the collaboration of our loyal customers, we will continue to reduce our impact on the environment.
