Microngreen: Our Sustainability Journey

Microngreen is Micronclean's sustainability program with a single overarching aim: we want Micronclean to be 'the most sustainable specialist textile and cleanroom consumable business on the planet'.

Unsere Eigentümer, die Familie Fry, haben sich persönlich für dieses Engagement eingesetzt, und es ist das gemeinsame Ziel von Eigentümern, Vorstand, Managementteam und Mitarbeitern.

Our Microngreen; Environment and Sustainability Strategy is built on three pillars; our climate, circular economy and people & communities.

Through Microngreen, we are working to become the most sustainable specialist textile and cleanroom consumable business in the world, guided by our values of Stewardship, Knowledge, Innovation and Excellence (SKIEs).

Our Focus

Microngreen is built on three core pillars:

• Our Climate: cutting carbon emissions and moving towards net zero by 2045.
• Circular Economy: reducing waste, improving recyclability, and rethinking packaging.
• People & Communities: creating social value, supporting wellbeing, and building stronger local partnerships.

Highlights from 2025

• Achieved a 31% reduction in direct carbon emissions since our 2021 baseline.
• Reduced our fleet emissions by 90% by switching to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO).
• Improved waste management, with 59% of waste now recycled in partnership with Avena.
• Generated 171,335kW hours of renewable electricity at our Louth plant.
• Invested in our employees education with a combined total of 6,037 training hours.

Future Focus

In 2026, we are committed to:

• Continued design and planning work on our world's first Carbon-Zero campus. With ground-breaking proposed for early 2027 and a completion date of 2028, this project will have a significant impact on delivering our netzero commitments.
• Further transport emission reductions within our fleet, through wider roll-out of HVO and adoption of electric vehicles.
• Science-Based Targets Commitment: setting science-aligned carbon reduction targets, with submission and validation planned later this year to support transparent decarbonisation.
