Press release

Ethical Hull company Bio-D has been invited to participate in Hornsea School & Language College’s second Green Britain Day Conference on 11th May.

The school’s Community Partnership Coordinator Sally Richardson contacted the Sutton Fields business after reading about Bio-D’s success in achieving the ISO 14001 environmental accreditation last year.

Commenting about the Green day, Sally said; “Further to the success of last year’s event, we have decided to open up the conference and will be welcoming over 240 pupils from Hornsea and six visiting schools, including one from Germany.

It promises to be an interesting and engaging day that promotes environmental responsibility and we have secured keynote speakers including local MP Graham Stuart and Steve Clarke from SMartWind.”

Bio-D will be delivering three interactive workshops to the pupils about the importance of respecting the environment and will feature a creative competition for pupils to win i-Tunes vouchers.

Bio-D Sales and Marketing Director Sara Holtby is delighted to support the initiative and said; “It’s crucial that people appreciate that we all have a role to play in safeguarding the environment for future generations and we hope that the pupils will find the workshops thought provoking and enjoyable.”

Hornsea School & Language College is a Bronze Eco School that benefits from a newly established Eco-Action Group that is committed to the long term sustainability of the school and its community.

Bio-D manufactures environmentally responsible cleaning and laundry products that are UK made, effective, biodegradable and hypoallergenic.  They are produced from sustainable, naturally derived raw materials and do not contain petrochemicals, chlorine or optical brighteners.  All of the Bio-D range is suitable for use with septic tanks and are BUAV and Vegan Society approved.

A Yorkshire manufacturer of biodegradable cleaners has launched a new range of antibacterial products.

The Bio-D Company launched the new Hand Wash, Multi Purpose Spray and Multi Surface Cleaner at the Natural and Organic Products Europe exhibition at Olympia on 1^st April. All three products are proven to kill 99.9% of all harmful bacteria including Salmonella, MRSA and E Coli but contain only natural ingredients that are hypoallergenic and will not damage the environment.

Bio-D’s Sales and Marketing Director Sara Holtby explained the rationale for the launch; “Hand washing is the single most important step in preventing the spread of MRSA. We have had many enquiries from customers looking for safe, yet effective antibacterial products and have spent much time perfecting the formulation.  We’re very pleased with their performance and look forward to launching them at the exhibition.” The new products, which are also food safe for catering clients, will be available from good independent health food stores and ethical e-tailers nationwide from June.

Bio D’s range of natural, biodegradable household products also includes washing up liquid, laundry liquid, laundry powder, fabric conditioner, dishwasher powder and rinse aid, multipurpose cleaner, bathroom cleaner, glass and window cleaner, toilet cleaner and disinfectant.
