Liverpool Council Staff are Clean and Green

CLEANING staff across Liverpool city council are using the most environmentally friendly cleansing products available.

The council’s 300-strong army of cleaners has decided to adopt a new ‘Enviro’ range of products which has a significantly lower environmental impact in terms of how it is manufactured, delivered and used and will go a long way to making sure the city meets its carbon reduction commitments in the coming years.

Liverpool’s Lord Mayor Councillor Mike Storey, who asked for the new eco-friendly products to be used at the Town Hall, said: "The initial response from the cleaners and Town Hall staff has been overwhelmingly positive and we would encourage other businesses and all residents to use similar environmentally-friendly cleaning products to help make Liverpool the greenest city in the UK."

Councillor Berni Turner, Liverpool’s executive member for the environment, said: "This is a fantastic scheme. We’re always looking at new and innovative ways to make Liverpool greener and this really is a solution which will benefit individuals and the environment. We don’t want toxic products being used which could be harmful to people or damage the environment for future generations."

Wray Brothers have also introduced a range of more environmentally friendly delivery vehicles and the city council has given a commitment to reduce the amount of delivery days each year by half.
