Supplier Awards 2025: Sustainability Initiative of the Year – Non-Food – Delphis Eco

Cleaning products specialist Delphis Eco stood head and shoulders above the field for living and breathing its environmental ethos.

 

Its ecological cleaning products are packaged in 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, reducing carbon by 61% compared to using virgin plastic. The entire range is made from plant-based renewable resources with no testing on animals, plus Delphis is committed to being zero carbon by 2035.

 

Delphis Eco states that its customers require more than green promises – they need actionable, data-driven insights that support sustainable transformation. Therefore its live carbon reporting systems are seamlessly integrated with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and financial data platforms. These systems provide real-time data on carbon metrics, enabling precise monitoring and adjustments that support sustainable choices.

 

Its latest initiatives include implementing a product carbon footprint analysis for every customer, covering scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Each report includes the customers’ product data from the prior year and measures the impact of each component, from ingredients to labels, packaging, trigger sprays, manufacturing emissions and delivery, with end-of-life emissions of the product being calculated. It also includes comparative information to understand how customers are saving carbon with Delphis products against an industry average.

 

The company has expanded its emission-free deliveries across London, reducing carbon emissions associated with last-mile transportation. So far in London using ecommerce platform Quiver has reduced its delivery emissions by 1.7 tonnes of CO2e.

 

Furthermore,  Delphis Eco has introduced additional recyclable and sustainable packaging solutions, including its 67% post-consumer recycled (PCR) triggers for 700ml spray bottles.

 

The business has reported double-digit growth, driven by both product innovation and a shift in consumer preference towards eco-friendly cleaning solutions. It is therefore more than worthy of being rewarded for the environmental stewardship enshrined in its values.
