Our Sustainability Journey
At SimplyClean, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.
We’re on a journey of continuous improvement - making our products as safe as possible for you, your family, and our planet.
From how we manufacture to how we interact with you, we strive to reduce our impact on the environment every step of the way.
Reduce, Refill, Reuse, Recycle
Our Ethos
At SimplyClean, our ethos of “Reduce, Refill, Reuse, Recycle” guides every part of our business.
• Bulk Refills: Over 50% of our business comes from home refills. Refilling your containers saves plastic waste and makes a big difference.
• Drop-off & Reuse: Local to Northern Rivers, NSW? Drop off your empties at our warehouse, or send them back by post for reuse.
Packaging Innovations
Sustainability
We’re committed to minimising new plastic, and we aim to meet APCO targets ahead of the 2025 deadline.
Here’s how we’re making packaging better for the environment:
• Box Refills: In 2021, we launched refill boxes for laundry and dishwasher powders—now making up 40% of our production.
• 100% Recycled Bottles: Over 80% of our bottles are made from 100% recycled plastic and can be refilled from our bulk range.
• Plastic-Free Progress: We removed plastic scoops from our powders in 2022, and we’re expanding our plastic-free options further, moving from plastic to cardboard.
Sustainable Manufacturing Processes
Our Ethos
Sustainability guides how we manufacture, store, and deliver our products.
Here’s what we’re doing to reduce our impact:
• Reduced Plastic Wrap: We've cut plastic pallet wrap by 50% using innovative technology.
• Reuse & Recycling: 95% of empty returned containers are reused. Incoming metal drums and plastic barrels are repurposed in our factory or by local farmers.
• Packaging Waste Reduction: We’ve reduced packaging waste by 90% and cut landfill waste by 50%. We're also part of the Bin Trim Program, recycling soft plastics that can't be reused.
A Commitment to a better way of life
Our Difference
SimplyClean is more than just a cleaning product—it's a commitment to a better way of life.
