The prestigious accolade was presented at a ceremony held at New Dock Hall in Leeds on 20th February 2025.
Recognition for Sustainable Innovation
The award recognises Bio-D's 35-year commitment to creating environmentally friendly cleaning solutions that don't compromise on performance or affordability. Managing Director Lloyd Atkin and Sustainability, NPD and Regulatory Manager Heather Nixon proudly accepted the award on behalf of the company.
Pioneering Sustainable Cleaning
Bio-D has established itself as a leader in sustainable cleaning through several key initiatives:
Their entire range of household cleaning products is made with naturally derived ingredients, manufactured in the UK using solar energy, and packaged in 100% recycled plastic bottles that can be recycled again after use.
The company has also pioneered a closed-loop system for their 20-litre containers, which are returned, washed, and refilled rather than discarded—further reducing plastic waste.
With a growing network of independent stockists offering refill stations across the UK, Bio-D continues to make sustainable cleaning more accessible while reducing single-use packaging.
Commitment to Ethical Standards
A key factor in Bio-D's success has been their unwavering commitment to ethical standards. All products are certified vegan and cruelty-free by the Vegan Society and Cruelty Free International, with no animal testing at any stage of development or production.
Bio-D's transparent approach extends to their ingredients, with the company maintaining a strict "What We Leave Out" policy that excludes harmful chemicals commonly found in conventional cleaning products.
Looking to the Future
As winners of the Small Business Award, Bio-D plans to continue expanding their sustainable offerings while maintaining their commitment to affordability and accessibility.
The company's recent initiatives include launching new fragrances such as Yorkshire Rhubarb and Spiced Apple, expanding their refill options, and continuing to develop their plastic-free range to further reduce environmental impact.
