BioHygiene: Redefining What Responsible Cleaning Looks Like

Across professional cleaning and hygiene, the conversation has shifted. Performance still matters, but it is no longer the only measure. Businesses increasingly want solutions that work effectively, protect people, and reduce environmental impact without driving up costs.
BioHygiene was founded on exactly that belief.
Built on a Simple Principle
From the outset, BioHygiene set out to prove that organisations should not have to choose between sustainability, cost, and performance. The company focused on using biotechnology to challenge traditional chemical approaches, demonstrating that plant-based, renewable ingredients could outperform conventional methods while being safer for people and the planet.
Originally known as Biological Preparations, BioHygiene began by supplying specialist formulations to the professional market. These early products were made entirely from renewable, biobased resources and were developed to deliver high cleaning performance with minimal environmental impact.
Made in Wales, Designed to Reduce Impact
In 2012, BioHygiene established its manufacturing base in Caerphilly, Wales. The site was designed to support sustainable production while creating skilled local employment.
The company operates a zero-waste manufacturing model, with a strong focus on reducing emissions and CO₂e across the entire product lifecycle. From raw material sourcing through to end-of-life considerations, responsible manufacturing is built into every stage of production.
This approach remains a defining part of BioHygiene’s identity today.
Sustainability Driven by Science
BioHygiene aligned its mission early on with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, embedding environmental responsibility into its long-term strategy. When these evolved into the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, BioHygiene quickly adapted, reinforcing its commitment to higher global sustainability standards.
As awareness of environmental impact grew across industries, BioHygiene continued to invest in research and development. In 2017, after identifying a clear gap in the market, the company launched a new generation of eco-conscious cleaning products following three years of focused innovation. These products set new benchmarks for sustainability, cost efficiency, and professional cleaning performance.
Responding When It Mattered Most
During the global COVID-19 pandemic, BioHygiene applied the same science-led thinking to a new challenge. In 2020, the company introduced a range of carbon-neutral, sustainable surface and hand sanitisers, helping protect people at a critical time without creating additional environmental harm.
This ability to respond quickly and responsibly reinforced BioHygiene’s position as a forward-thinking manufacturer rooted in purpose rather than trends.
Leading the Way Forward
Today, BioHygiene continues to lead the biotechnology cleaning movement in the UK and beyond. Its products deliver reliable, professional-grade results while supporting carbon reduction, safety, and sustainability goals.
By combining innovation with responsibility, BioHygiene is helping organisations rethink how they approach hygiene and cleaning. Not as a trade-off between values and performance, but as an opportunity to achieve both.
