Political, geopolitical, security, social, and economic crises have shaped global reality in recent years. Yet above them all stands a crisis that transcends borders, continents, and oceans: the climate crisis, defined by countries around the world and their leaders as the most tangible modern threat to humanity as a whole. This crisis stems from the accelerated warming of the planet and the destructive excess of greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere.
The State of Israel, like much of the developed world, has committed itself to the international community and has even enacted a Climate Law, with the goal of reducing its carbon footprint by 27% by the year 2030.
Tavas, as Israel’s leading cleaning services company, has chosen to take part in the national effort to build climate resilience and reduce harm to the physical environment - not merely as a statement, but through concrete action and by promoting a culture of sustainability. Following a complex and prolonged preparation period, Tavas is proud to announce its transition to the use of eco-friendly cleaning materials that are completely safe to use and beneficial to the environment, its clients, and the dedicated cleaning staff working in the field.
What Is an Eco-Friendly Cleaning Material?
Eco-friendly cleaning materials are characterized by plant-based raw ingredients and are 100% biodegradable and/or free from potential harm to the environment and/or users. These materials are free of preservatives, phosphates, parabens, and allergenic components.
What Types of Materials Are Included?
The world’s leading manufacturers of cleaning products are currently allocating significant resources to the development and production of more user- and environment-friendly materials. The range of eco-friendly cleaning products includes all familiar applications: sanitary ware cleaning, general cleaning, limescale removal, floor shampoos, dishwashing liquids, degreasers, and more.
Storage Containers
All eco-friendly cleaning materials are stored in recycled bottles that are 100% recyclable and reusable. This step represents a true transformation, as the shift to eco-friendly materials prevents the disposal of millions of plastic containers into waste streams, with all the environmental and operational implications this entails.
Standards and Safety (MSDS)
All eco-friendly cleaning materials implemented by Tavas comply with stringent standards, hold Israeli or European certifications, and are accompanied by Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) that confirm proper usage guidelines and their high level of safety.
Material Quality
Eco-friendly cleaning materials are characterized by high cleaning performance, in some cases even exceeding that of conventional products. The materials feature high-quality, pleasant fragrances derived exclusively from plant extracts.
Dilution Centers
As part of the effort to reduce the use of plastic containers, leading manufacturers have developed dedicated dilution centers for cleaning materials. These systems enable the on-site production of high-quality cleaning solutions at the client’s location by diluting concentrated material with water at precise ratios.
The installation of a dilution center requires only a water connection. It is a simple and safe installation process that ensures the use of superior cleaning materials, streamlined logistics, and a significant reduction in plastic container consumption through the repeated use of a limited number of bottles.
Benefits for the Client: The use of eco-friendly cleaning materials primarily benefits the client: from reducing chemical exposure and improving indoor air quality in offices, through enhanced employee safety, to creating a safer and healthier work environment. Beyond that, the initiative supports the organization’s sustainability policy and strengthens its commitment to environmental responsibility. In this context, Tavas views itself as a value-adding partner that contributes to the preservation culture and environmental responsibility of its clients.
Implementation in the Field
The implementation of eco-friendly cleaning materials at Tavas is accompanied by a structured and professional process that includes site-specific adaptation, operational feasibility assessments, and the integration of complementary solutions, including dedicated dilution centers.
The process is carried out with managerial oversight, strict safety standards, and simplified logistics at client sites, with the aim of ensuring efficient, consistent, and high-quality use of eco-friendly cleaning materials.
Tavas continues to operate at the forefront of the cleaning market, as a path-leading company adopting innovative methods, equipment, and approaches - driven by a commitment to compliance, sustainability, and environmental responsibility.
The transition to eco-friendly cleaning materials does not involve any additional cost for clients.
It is a full financial and operational investment by Tavas.
