Hillbrush: Committed to Protecting and Preserving the Environment

With a range of over two-thousand products and distribution partners in over 90 countries, Hillbrush is the largest UK manufacturer of brushware and hygienic cleaning tools, selling to a global customer base. Setting the benchmark for quality and innovation across the cleaning, healthcare and food processing industries, the mission for continuous development and outstanding service is as prominent now as it was when the company was founded in 1922. Hillbrush has developed an extensive product line designed for a range of sectors, from hygiene products suitable for food manufacture and healthcare to natural fibre products for the agricultural industry. 

Hillbrush Hygiene features ground-breaking filament retention technology to help ensure the highest standards of cleanliness and safety in the workplace. The Hygiene range is manufactured in house in a state-of-the-art factory in Mere, Wiltshire, South West England and boasts up to 12 colours, including Anti-Microbial, Total MDX, Resin-Set DRS® Brushware and Foodservice, allowing our customers to colour code their workplace. These product lines cover the three major causes of contamination in the food manufacturing and healthcare industries and along with Shadowboards help organisations comply with BRC Global standards version 8 and HACCP.

Hillbrush has long since been committed to protecting and preserving the environment, and the advent of its new factory handed Hillbrush the opportunity to consider the enterprise as a whole and incorporate best environmental practices from the ground up, resulting in the following accomplishments:
  • Hillbrush strives to use a minimal amount of packaging materials and complies with all Environmental Protection Agency Waste Packaging Regulations (2007)* 
  • All plastic products manufactured by Hillbrush comply with Environmental Protection Agency recycling regulations
  • All recyclable packaging is recycled or reused to keep it in the circular economy
  • The installation of a 250kw PV solar generating system at our facility in Mere, Wiltshire
  • The installation of automatic taps to control water consumption
  • Any cardboard boxes purchased are made from 80% recycled content with a view to increasing this where possible
  • Hillbrush is a member of Sedex, ensuring ethical work across the globe
  • Energy-efficient moulding machines use considerably less power than before
  • Its head office uses efficient LED lighting operated via sensors and timers to reduce energy wastage
  • Wall and roof insulation is compliant with the latest energy efficiency standards
  • The installation of two electric car charging points for environmentally friendly vehicles
  • Hillbrush has an FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) Chain of Custody certification (TT-COC-001562) for wooden brush backs and other wooden products
  • All the vegetable fibres used in Hillbrush brushes are harvested from developing countries, and in many cases, support local communities and helping further the commitment to corporate social responsibility
Due to its flexible manufacturing facility, Hillbrush can offer a bespoke service enabling the production of your company’s custom brushware products and plastic components.  Manufacturing a wide selection of special brushes, ranging from bath and vegetable brushes to window cleaning brushes, Hillbrush really is the one-stop shop for all your brush requirements.
