Creating a Cleaner Future with Ecowise Ultra Concentrates

September 2026

For hospitality businesses, sustainability is no longer just a buzzword. Guests, customers, and stakeholders increasingly expect organisations to reduce waste, lower emissions, and make environmentally responsible purchasing decisions.

The challenge? Finding solutions that deliver real environmental benefits without adding complexity or compromising cleaning performance.

That's where Ecowise Ultra Concentrates come in.

By simply switching from traditional ready-to-use (RTU) chemicals to concentrated cleaning solutions, businesses can dramatically reduce plastic waste, lower carbon emissions, and support their sustainability objectives, all while maintaining the high cleaning standards businesses depend on.

Why Cleaning Chemicals Matter More Than You Think

Many businesses focus their sustainability efforts on energy consumption, recycling programmes, and food waste reduction. Yet one of the most overlooked opportunities lies in the cleaning cupboard.

Traditional RTU chemicals require:

Large plastic containers
Higher transportation volumes
More storage space
Greater packaging waste

Ultra concentrates take a smarter approach. A small amount of concentrated product can be diluted to produce large volumes of ready-to-use cleaning solution, significantly reducing the resources required throughout the supply chain.

Between January and December 2025, Southern Hospitality customers purchased 2,765 units of Ecowise Ultra Concentrates, helping businesses across New Zealand reduce their environmental footprint.

How Concentrates Reduce Waste

The real power of concentrates lies in their efficiency.

The Ecowise Ultra Concentrates sold in 2025 could produce an incredible 2,686,574 litres of ready-to-use cleaning solution, equivalent to approximately 537,315 traditional 5-litre RTU containers.

That means fewer plastic bottles manufactured, transported, stored, and eventually discarded.

Every procurement decision creates a ripple effect. Choosing more sustainable cleaning solutions is one way businesses to contribute to those outcomes while improving their own environmental footprint.

Sustainability doesn't always require major operational change.

Occasionally, it starts with something as simple as the cleaning products you use every day.
