Let's rethink hand hygiene: smart, sustainable and effective
5 May is International Hand Hygiene Day, an initiative of the World Health Organization that draws global attention to the importance of good hand hygiene. Hand hygiene is an essential part of health and safety, but today it also offers the opportunity to approach the process in a smarter and more sustainable way. In this blog, we are happy to explain how our handsoap tabs offer significant benefits for both people and the environment.
Innovative hand hygiene
As part of our 'Let's rethink cleaning' approach, we look beyond traditional solutions. We seek innovations that boost efficiency whilst reducing our environmental impact. A prime example of this is the switch from traditional liquid hand soap to hand soap in tablet form.
The BOMA Handsoap Tab is an innovative solution that rethinks hand hygiene from the ground up. Thanks to a compact tablet that you simply dissolve in water, you get a powerful foaming soap in no time at all.
A small tablet, a big difference
Choosing hand soap tabs may seem like a small change, but it has a greater impact than you might think:
- Lower CO2 emissions: By switching to hand soap tablets, we significantly reduce our carbon footprint. As they contain no water, they are supplied in small paper packaging. This means less plastic waste and a smaller volume, resulting in lower CO2 emissions up to 80%.
- Less waste: As the packaging can be reused, this results in less plastic waste. Reusing the bottle reduces plastic waste by 99%, and refilling it afterwards reduces it by as much as 100%.
- Reduced consumption: foam soap is generally used up more slowly than liquid hand soap, as less product is needed per use to thoroughly clean the hands..
- Easy to use: No hassle with heavy bottles to refill. You simply dissolve a tablet in water to get a lovely hand soap, as simple as that!
More than just cleansing thanks to its probiotic action
What makes this solution particularly special is its probiotic action. The Hand Soap Tabs contain natural and biodegradable ingredients. With the addition of probiotics, they offer environmentally beneficial properties, which reduces the product's carbon footprint. The ingredients are 100% natural, meaning they actively contribute to maintaining a natural microbial balance. When they re-enter the environment after use, they actively contribute to water purification.
