The demand for sustainability in education facilities is growing rapidly. At WEPA Professional UK, we are proud to support this movement by providing sustainable hygiene solutions that strike a balance between performance, efficiency and environmental care.
A standout example here is our collaboration with CS4UK and Chelmsford College, where our Satino PureSoft paper products played a pivotal role in transforming hygiene systems to meet sustainability targets. As a trusted hygiene supplier to educational facilities, CS4UK guided the college in discovering and implementing solutions that aligned with their values of sustainability and quality, making Satino PureSoft a natural fit.
This unique raw material-based product offers 100% sustainable, plastic-free paper with strong environmental credentials - perfectly aligning with Chelmsford College’s sustainability ambitions and operational goals.
The challenge: Regaining control to reach sustainability goals
Chelmsford College identified two key challenges that were hindering their progress in taking back control of procurement and ensuring environmental goals were met:
- Lack of procurement control: Their cleaning contractor previously managed all consumables, limiting the facilities teams’ visibility and flexibility and making it harder for the college to make values-led decisions.
- Sustainability objectives: Chelmsford College was determined to align its hygiene strategy with broader environmental goals but needed a solution that delivered quality without compromising performance or reliability.
The solution: A partnership rooted in shared values
CS4UK, a valued distribution partner of WEPA Professional UK, worked closely with Chelmsford College to design a hygiene strategy that was not only practical and cost-effective but aligned with the college’s environmental ambitions.
A key part of this strategy was the introduction of Satino PureSoft - a premium hygiene paper made from sustainable raw materials and backed by industry-leading sustainability credentials. Satino PureSoft represents more than just a high-quality product; it represents a commitment to circularity, low-impact production and responsible sourcing.
This was more than just a product switch, the collaboration marked a shift toward a values-driven partnership. With the support of the Satino paper products, CS4UK collaborated with Chelmsford College to drive a full transition to responsible procurement, rooted in sustainability, transparency and long-term performance.
Powered by the HYGINITY double dispenser system
Alongside Satino PureSoft, CS4UK implemented the HYGINITY double dispenser system, an efficient, high-capacity, low-maintenance hygiene solution designed to meet the demands of busy campus environments. This innovative system significantly reduced the need for manual refills by enabling bulk replenishment just once a day, freeing up valuable time for facilities staff. Its dual-roll design ensured consistent product availability, minimising waste and eliminating the risk of empty dispensers.
Together, these improvements enhanced operational efficiency across Chelmsford College’s facilities while supporting a cleaner, more sustainable hygiene experience for students and staff.
“Satino PureSoft was the highest quality, 100% sustainable paper. Their values aligned with ours, and together we believe we can make a positive environmental impact.” – Ewen Lucas, general manager at CS4UK.
The impact for Chelmsford College - environmental and operational wins
The results speak volumes. By implementing Satino PureSoft and the HYGINITY dispenser system, Chelmsford College has achieved a powerful combination of waste reduction, cost savings and operational efficiency – all while advancing its commitment to sustainability.
These outcomes have included:
- Reduced plastic and paper waste through the transition to 100% plastic-free Satino PureSoft paper. This key feature has dramatically cut down single-use packaging and improved paper usage efficiency.
- Significant cost savings with less waste and smarter systems. Chelmsford College saw immediate financial benefits from this strategy, freeing up resources to invest in other areas.
- Streamlined operations with HYGINITY’s double dispenser system, transforming day-to-day maintenance through bulk refills once a day instead of multiple top-ups, saving staff time and ensuring consistent availability of hygiene products.
- Enhanced alignment with sustainability goals – this hygiene solution directly supports Chelmsford College’s broader ESG targets, embedding sustainability into everyday operations.
“We’ve significantly reduced waste, not throwing anything away while no longer producing plastic, so sustainability is really winning. The HYGINITY system holds double the paper volume, so instead of topping up at multiple points during the day across the building, we can do it all at once – either early in the morning or at the end of the day and save a huge amount of time and effort.” – Gary Holland, estates & sustainability manager at Chelmsford College.
Why collaboration drives sustainable strategies that work
This project goes beyond a supplier partnership – it’s a model for how values-led collaboration between the right suppliers and partners can deliver real results both environmentally and across operational performance.
By aligning with CS4UK and adopting Satino PureSoft, Chelmsford College has taken meaningful steps toward environmental responsibility, operational efficiency and procurement transparency. The college now benefits from reduced waste, lower costs and a hygiene system that supports long-term sustainability, without compromising on performance or user experience.
