Sustainability

Driving Change with Purpose

At Superfine Manufacturing, sustainability is not a buzzword, it’s a commitment woven into the fabric of everything we do. From the packaging we choose to the ingredients we source and the way we operate, we are making meaningful changes that contribute to a more responsible, circular, and sustainable world.

As custodians of our industry and our planet, we believe in action over promises. That’s why we’re already implementing bold, practical solutions, while ambitiously working towards even greater transformation.

What We’ve Already Achieved

Every choice we make today shapes a better tomorrow. Here are some of the steps we’ve taken to embed sustainability into our daily operations:

Sustainable Packaging Materials

We’ve transitioned to both large and small pallet bags that include a biodegradable additive, helping to reduce long-term plastic waste.

Certified Sustainable Ingredients

Our commitment to responsible sourcing includes the use of RSPO-certified Amine Oxide and Ether Sulphate, supporting the ethical production of palm oil.

Environmentally Friendly Consumables

Our blue roll paper products now carry the EU Ecolabel, meaning they meet strict environmental standards throughout their life cycle.

Recycled Plastic Bottles

All cologne bottles are now made from 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, and other bottles we use include at least 30% PCR, reducing our reliance on virgin plastics.

Paper Waste Reduction

We’re actively reviewing and reducing paper usage across our operations, embracing digital workflows wherever possible.

What We’re Working Towards

Our mission for a greener future doesn’t stop with what we’ve achieved. We’re constantly challenging ourselves to innovate, improve, and lead with responsibility.

Here’s a snapshot of our ongoing and upcoming projects:

Better Ingredients, Better Outcomes

We are assessing the sustainability of our synthetic surfactants and seeking out low-carbon alternatives such as isopropanol with a reduced carbon footprint.

Next-Gen Packaging

Within the next six months, we aim to launch UN-approved containers with PCR content, further elevating our packaging credentials.

Paper-Based Alternatives

We are reviewing the use of paper document wallets to replace plastic counterparts, and investigating PCT variations for our 5L jerricans to optimise packaging design.

Standards That Matter

We are on the journey to achieving ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety) certifications — recognised international benchmarks of operational excellence.

Our Philosophy

We believe that sustainability isn’t a destination, it’s a journey of constant progress, innovation, and accountability. Whether it’s through cutting waste, sourcing ethically, or designing smarter packaging, our goal is simple: to leave the world better than we found it.

Together, with our partners, customers, and team, we’re building a future where performance and responsibility go hand in hand.

Managing Directors Commitment

“Sustainability is more than a corporate responsibility, it’s a personal promise. I am deeply committed to transforming Superfine Manufacturing into a business that leads with integrity, compassion, and purpose. I believe that how we treat our planet reflects how we treat our people, and both deserve our utmost care.

 

My goal is clear: to build a future where sustainability touches every corner of our operations, from how we source materials and design packaging to how we empower our team and support our community.  

 

This is not just about meeting standards, it’s about raising them. Together with our passionate team, we are creating a culture of innovation and accountability, where doing the right thing isn’t the exception, it’s the expectation.

 

I am proud of the progress we’ve made, and even more excited for what’s ahead. Change starts here, and it starts with us.”
