Biovate Hygienics achieves Ecocert accreditation

Biovate Hygienics is celebrating after being awarded Ecocert certification for its natural cleaning products. The company’s mission is to drive sustainable change in the commercial cleaning and hospitality sectors.

The accolade is a major achievement for the company as it is also the first UK manufacturer of commercial cleaning products to achieve the certification, which is recognised as one of the best-known worldwide labels for organic products.

Biovate Hygienics had earmarked this year for the next step on its journey towards closer alignment with both certification and trade bodies, to ensure its products and business is independently validated by credible third parties.

Co-founders Nick Winstone, an experienced biological cleaning entrepreneur, and Tom Burkill, an accomplished serial entrepreneur, set up the company with a vision of sustainable innovation and positive disruption – and to change the way Britian cleans.

Ecocert has given its seal of approval to a wide range of Biovate’s products under its Ecodetergent certification, including surface cleaners, a fabric cleaner and a floor degreaser.

Nick Winstone said: “We are thrilled to be the first UK manufacturer of commercial cleaning products to achieve an Ecocert Ecodetergent certification. This is a major achievement of our journey to develop the most sustainable cleaning products on the planet. Our vision and mission is to drive sustainable change to reflect our identity as a business and the many steps we’ve undertaken to gain Ecocert accreditation are a demonstration of our commitment to that goal.”

Tom Burkill added: “We aimed to bring some black and white to a market which at the moment has plenty of grey areas in a lot of its stakeholders minds and what is actually green is generally not fully understood or accredited. In a world where 'green washing' is becoming a common phrase we aim to bring credence to our activity and what better way than with the hardest and most stringent of certifications, that took us over 18 months to achieve.”

Ecocert advances sustainability through its Ecodetergent certification programme ensuring that products are both naturally derived and eco-friendly. Its emphasis lies in environmentally responsible practices and natural ingredients in its approved detergents, while prioritising product performance and safety.
