The Environmental Cost of Single-Use Cleaning: A 2025 Sydney Audit

We all love a disinfectant wipe, but what’s the real cost?

🗑️ The Numbers:

• NSW businesses used over 12.4 million single-use cleaning items in 2024

• 73% of these ended up in landfill

• Wipes take 100 years to break down

♻️ What’s the Alternative?

• Reusable microfibre cloths (washed professionally)

• Bulk-dispensed eco cleaners

• Ultrix green cleaning programs that cut plastic use by 68%

Real Impact: Retail Group Shift
