In an agreement this November, EU member states agreed on reducing the use of phosphors compounds in dishwasher and laundry detergents.
The decision, taken by EU member states 'representatives, given the green light to ban the use of phosphates in household cleaning products. This amended EU regulation aims to reduce the levels of phosphorous compounds found in wastewater which produce eutrophication' or the formation of blue-green algae that starve fish of oxygen in lakes and streams.
The new restrictions, which were not included in the initial proposal from the European Commission, relate to banning phosphates use in dishwashers as well as laundry products, a move that was welcomed by the European Parliament.

Due to be launched in Jan 2012. We have set up a webshop within our Smith & Coburn website to enable the employees of the Wellcome Trust to purchase the full range of over 30 Ecover products, including the innovative refill system. This is unique to Wellcome Trust.

Earlier in the year we entered in to a new partnership with Metsä Tissue. Following the ethos of Smith & Coburn, the products are great value for money, cost effective and by using Metsä Tissue we can be confident in offering products that have the lowest impact on the environment.

High capacity, holding a 1600 sheet roll, the System Toilet Tissue Dispenser prevents cross contamination underneath the dispenser where germs commonly lurk because the roll is always visible. There is no searching for the roll inside the dispenser and you can see at a glance if the dispenser needs topping up, the plugs sit neatly in the core catcher. The toilet rolls carry the highly acclaimed Nordic Swan Eco Label, offering the best in class environmentally.

There is no wastage, as every sheet is used, and with the dispenser holding more than the equivalent of 5 conventional toilet rolls or 6 sleeves of bulk pack, storage issues are significantly reduced. They are labour saving too!
