Personal commitment comes with the job for Blanco’s Sustainability guru Dr Chris Moon, and last month saw him take delivery of a new car from Swedish manufacturer SAAB, which runs on ‘bio power’, in this case bioethanol. The car company claims that the new SAAB 9-5 produces 70% less CO2 than a standard model. Blanco UK appointed Dr Moon last year to overhaul the company’s internal processes with a view to working towards more sustainable office practices. A number of new procedures at the company’s North London HQ are now in place. BLANCO already offers a number of ‘greener’ options in their product range, including water saving taps, waste sorting systems and a wide range of recyclable stainless steel sinks, which themselves incorporate a high percentage of recycled material.
