Project Overview
Chemical-free cleaning even for large-scale logistics centres
Large-scale logistics centers operate around the clock and require frequent, reliable cleaning across multiple floors and high-traffic zones. Together with client we were looking for a way to maintain consistent hygiene standards while reducing reliance on traditional chemical-based cleaning products. The goal was clear: create a safer working environment for cleaning staff and support long-term sustainability – without compromising daily operations.
To support this transition, we worked with the client to review existing cleaning practices and introduce an alternative, chemical-free solution based on aqueous ozone technology. The approach was designed to simplify cleaning processes, reduce environmental impact, and ensure effective performance in demanding logistics environments where uptime, safety, and efficiency are critical.
The Challenge
Reducing chemical dependency in a demanding logistics environment
Operating a large-scale logistics center requires continuous cleaning across high-traffic areas while ensuring employee safety, operational efficiency, and environmental responsibility – all within a 24/7 operational model.
Key challenges identified during implementation:
- Daily exposure of cleaning staff to multiple chemical-based products
- High consumption of cleaning agents across large, multi-floor facilities
- Environmental impact related to chemical use, storage, and disposal
- Operational complexity caused by mixing, transporting, and storing chemicals
- Need to maintain consistent cleaning performance without disrupting logistics operations
Key issues:
24/7
Continuous cleaning around the clock
6 products
Each janitorial team member is exposed to 6 chemical products daily
200,000 m²
Daily floor coverage across all areas
Our Solution
Aqueous ozone cleaning designed for large-scale operations
To help the client reduce chemical dependency without compromising cleaning performance, we implemented an aqueous ozone cleaning solution tailored to the demands of large, continuously operating fulfillment centers.
Chemical-free cleaning technology
Aqueous ozone cleaning converts ordinary tap water into an effective cleaning and sanitising solution using aqueous ozone technology. This eliminates the need for traditional chemical agents while maintaining proven cleaning performance.
Safer daily use for cleaning teams
The solution significantly reduces daily exposure to harsh chemicals, supporting a safer working environment for cleaning staff and improving overall indoor air quality across the facility.
Operational simplicity at scale
By removing the need for chemical storage, mixing, and transportation, the system simplifies daily cleaning routines and reduces operational complexity in large, multi-floor environments.
Sustainability-driven performance
The aqueous ozone solution naturally reverts back to water and oxygen after use, helping the client lower plastic waste, reduce CO₂ emissions, and align cleaning operations with long-term ESG and sustainability goals.
Results & Impact
83% less chemicals with uncompromised performance standards
The implementation of Aqueous ozone cleaning delivered clear, measurable benefits across operations, the environment, and staff wellbeing.
98% reduction in CO₂ emissions
Nearly all emissions from chemical production and transport were eliminated, helping the client drastically lower their environmental footprint.
83% decrease in chemical use per unit
Staff are now exposed to far fewer chemicals, creating a safer and healthier working environment.
70% less plastic waste
By cutting down on single-use containers, the facility moved closer to its sustainability and ESG goals.
30% savings in cleaning costs
Operational expenses decreased significantly, while maintaining the same high standards of cleanliness.
Operational PerspectiveIn logistics projects, the main challenge is rarely the cleaning itself – it’s the scale and the need for uninterrupted operations. Reducing chemical use simplified processes more than we initially expected: fewer deliveries, less storage, and fewer safety procedures related to handling cleaning agents. This solution has broad potential – from production halls and high-bay warehouses to industrial facilities aiming to significantly reduce emissions and plastic waste while maintaining high operational efficiency
