Sustainability

Energy & Carbon

Having heavily invested in off-grid energy generation within the Northwood group and REGO backed electricity across all UK operations, continued investment in state-of-the-art capability both at our paper mills and converting sites, Northwood places heavy focus on delivering products and solutions with minimal carbon impact.

Sustainable Products

Our vertically integrated, heavily UK based supply chain with state of the art capability demonstrates our commitment to developing and manufacturing products that offer genuine end user benefits that optimises washroom and janitorial operations, whether it be solutions in consumption control, waste reduction or material innovation. Our sustainable sourcing promise, of every parent reel purchased or manufactured being either FSC or PEFC certified is further testament to our commitment

Trees for cities

With every new dispenser contract, we pledge to plant a tree in partnership with Trees for Cities.

The only UK charity to be making an impact here in the UK as well as internationally, Trees for Cities have planted over 1.5 million trees since 1993.

End of Life

As a vertically integrated business, Northwood Hygiene are able to recycle 94% of our operational waste via our own paper mills. In 2023 less than 0.3% of our total waste went to landfill, and we continue to push for improvement. Northwood also offers a range of end of life solutions for our customers to improve their own circularity and help them to meet their own waste reduction targets.

Green Loop

Promoting circularity & diverting waste from landfill to minimise environmental impact.

The Green Loop initiative offers a recycling function for used hand towels, old dispensers and plastic inserts, turning them back into new Northwood washroom products.

Community

Northwood works with a number of charities on a national and local level to drive meaningful impact on our communities, such as our partnership with Trees for Cities.
