BioBall - the unique urinal cleaning solution that saves water
Urinals have always been seen as the 'problem area' of the washroom environment. The BioBall Cleaning System can eradicate this problem with simple to use, cost effective, eco friendly products.
BioBall is the highly efficient, cost effective and environmentally credible urinal block system that ensures urinals are clean, drains remain clearer and odour free.
BioBall's highly effective enzyme block encased by a bio-degradable cage that can either be free standing or elevated over the flushing waterline with the attachment of an integrated pedestal "lollipop" stick. Bio Ball will not dye the urinal or end up being a sludgy mess at the botom of the drains after a few weeks.
The BioBall does not require regular flushing water. It is activated by a small amount of liquid and therefore you can reduce the amount of water consumed by either turning your water system right down, or by adding a water management system to ensure your property is reaching the maximum amount of cost savings achievable. You can save up to 151,000 litres of water per urinal per year. Multiplied across your organisation, the water and sewage savings can be dramatic.
Dependant on your local water authority you can save up to £835.00 per cistern per year on water savings, not to mention the reduction on your CO2 emissions.
Calculations are based on £2.03 per metre cubed (1,000 litres).
More cost savings can be achieved if you use the cistern bags which displaces a litre of water per bag in the cistern reducing the amount of water used in a flush. On average a further 11% savings achieved per bag.
On top of this you will not have the expensive cost of drain and sewage clearance, at an average of 1-2 visits per year. Which is a saving of £150 - £300 per washroom.

Sustainable cleaning
Whilst NJC recognise the need to conduct our cleaning operations in a way that is 'environmentally friendly', this doesn't just mean using chemicals that are safe for the environment. It means minimising all the many other environmental impacts that arise in making and using cleaning products, such as energy consumption and waste disposal.
There are three steps we use to optimise sustainability:
1. Choose products that are designed for sustainability as well as safety and quality. The manufacturer must select and formulate ingredients not only to ensure safety but to optimise the sustainability of the finished product when properly used.
2. Work with suppliers so that the responsibly manage their manufacturing impacts. We challenge our suppliers for evidence that they have effective control of impacts during the manufacturing phase.
3. Minimise the environmental impacts that arise during our cleaning operations. We reduce our consumption of product, packaging and energy by buying effective products and using the efficiently to minimise wastage and disposal to landfill.
For us sustainability is about meeting our customer's needs, in the context of making things clean, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Our general concept of improving sustainability is simple: Reduce consumption (to preserve the world's natural resources) and reduce emissions (to minimise pollution).
NJC has implemented an Environmental Management System that meets the requirements of ISO14001:2004. |
