In-demand Bamber Bridge cleaning supplies manufacturer makes new toxic substance request
A major cleaning supplies company based in Bamber Bridge wants to change its hazardous substance consent - after seeing an increase in demand.
Evans Vanodine International Plc, which is based in Brierley Road, Walton Summit, has manufactured cleaning and hygiene products for more than 100 years.
It is now looking for consent to increase the quantities of certain classifications of chemicals it hold on site. A planning statement to South Ribble Borough Council (SRBC) says: “We have seen a considerable increase in demand from our customers for products containing sodium hypochlorite, as there are increasingly fewer suppliers for this type of product.
“One of the substances on site, glutaraldehyde, is classified as a toxic category 2. The product manufactured using glutaraldehyde, GPC8, has recently been reclassified as toxic category 2 also, where it previously was not. We therefore need to substantially increase our inventory, although the actual amount on site has not changed, simply the classification.”
They say that in order to ‘future proof’ for projected business, they are applying to increase other categories in the same application. But added that they no longer store flammable aerosols on site.
A decision will be made in coming weeks by SRBC.
