At Unico, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. From responsibly sourced materials to energy-efficient production processes, we’re committed to reducing our environmental impact and promoting ethical practices across our supply chain. As a trusted supplier of hygiene, catering and workwear products, we understand the importance of sustainable innovation, delivering high-quality products while protecting the planet for future generations.
RESPONSIBLE SOURCING
We work exclusively with suppliers who meet ethical and sustainable production standards. This includes FSC-certified packaging, RSPO-alternative ingredients, and plant-based materials.
REDUCING WATER & WASTE
Our facilities have invested in low-water production processes, greywater reuse, and plastic-free packaging formats such as solid soap bars and bulk refill programs.
RENEWABLE ENERGY USE
We use 100% renewable electricity across our manufacturing and distribution sites. Solar energy, smart lighting, and efficient heating systems power our daily operations.
We’re transforming how we store and ship products:
- Eco-efficient Warehouses: Powered by LED lighting, energy-efficient HVAC systems, and equipped with recyclable packaging stations.
- Smart Packaging: Lightweight, recyclable shipping boxes that reduce material waste without compromising protection.
- Electric Vehicle Fleet: Our own EVs support local deliveries with zero tailpipe emissions, reducing our carbon footprint even further.
