WHAT WE CLEAN

CLEANING APPLICATIONS

LOWERING RISK AT EVERY TOUCHPOINT

Proven over years of testing in Scandinavia, BIO-CIRCLE are now bringing flexible solutions to the UK. Many traditional "approved" chemistries carry hazardous warning labels & undesirable ingredients, but at BIO-CIRCLE is has been our mission over 40 years of research to make cleaning tasks simpler and safer.

Over the last four decades we have been using a combination of technology, chemistry, biology and service to optimise our customers' cleaning processes whilst at the same time lowering carbon footprriint and increasing the health and wellbeing of users.

Our mission is to transform the ‘old way of doing things’ into efficient, streamlined processes that are cost- controlled, and with as minimal environmental impact as possible.

WHAT GETS ON YOUR GEAR

Soot & particulates - Picked up during every fire, especially at the neck, jaw and wrists - where fit is loosest.

PAHs & VOCs - Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, plus benzene, toluene and other combustion by-products.

PFAS in the gear itself - Turnout gear materials can contain "forever chemicals" that are themselves linked to cancer.

Cumulative exposure - Gear is often worn on multiple calls before washing - contamination builds, it doesn't reset.

+9%

HIGHER CANCER DIAGNOSIS RATE

+14%

HIGHER CANCER MORTALITY RATE

vs. the general population. UCLA is running a dedicated study into how much of this gap traces back to contaminated gear handling.

DON'T LET THE GEAR THAT PROTECTS
BECOME THE HAZARD

Contaminated turnout gear is a documented, cumulative contributor to firefighters' elevated cancer risk - not just unhygienic, but dangerous if it isn't cleaned properly. It isn't just the coat & trousers. Every item of PPE carries contamination, including boots, helmets & breathing apparatus.

HOW WE CLEAN IT

PPE DECONTAMINATION SOLUTIONS

FOR CLEANING ON-SCENE, AT THE STATION, AT SERVICE / REFURB CENTRE

Versatile decon solutions, including manual & automatic wash basins for deep-cleans back at the station/ service centres; to self- contained, portable solutions that tackle contaminants immediately at the scene post-incident. VOC-free, label- free chemistry & systems to ensure thorough decon of all PPE at every stage post-incident.

Begin decon at the scene with the mobile EKO - the high-pressure jet-wash alternative, take it to the station with the wall-mounted EKO &/or the GT Compact for a deeper clean; and then to the refurbishment centre for thorough servicing with the BIO-CIRCLE Automatic.
