Sustainability
Grown,
not drilled.
Eco-conscious at every stage, from the plantation to production to the end of a product's life.
01Our approach
Not a marketing claim.
A business model.
Sustainability is not a slogan at Sweepro Group; it is built into how we work. By choosing natural rubber over synthetic alternatives, we have built our whole business around renewable, biodegradable materials.
Our rubber comes from rubber trees in Sri Lanka, a renewable resource that keeps producing for years. The trees absorb CO₂ throughout their productive life, and when they reach the end of their cycle they are replaced with saplings.
Our products are made to last, which means less waste and fewer replacements. From the plantation to production, packaging and the end of a product's life, we consider the environmental impact at every stage. That commitment has guided us for more than 35 years and will keep shaping our future.
02Our commitments
Six commitments,
one material.
All natural rubber
Every Sweepa® product is natural rubber from rubber trees. Never synthetic, petroleum-based rubber.
Renewable and biodegradable
Natural rubber is a renewable resource that breaks down naturally, unlike synthetic plastics.
Hypoallergenic materials
Kind to sensitive users and free from harsh synthetic chemicals.
Acid and oil resistant
Products that last longer, so less waste and fewer replacements.
Carbon sequestration
Rubber trees absorb CO₂ throughout their productive life.
An eco-conscious life cycle
From plantation to production, packaging and end of life, we consider the impact at every stage.
Natural rubber contains natural latex proteins, so anyone with a diagnosed latex allergy should check with their doctor before use. Our disclaimer sets out how product properties are described.
