How Arrow Solutions is delivering safer chemistry, responsible manufacturing and high-performance cleaning products for modern industry
For today’s businesses, sustainability is no longer an optional consideration. Whether you’re operating in aerospace, food manufacturing, engineering, facilities management, automotive or transport, organisations are increasingly expected to demonstrate responsible purchasing, safer chemical management and reduced environmental impact throughout their supply chains.
At Arrow Solutions, sustainability is not a marketing statement – it’s a long-term commitment that shapes how we develop our chemistry, manufacture our products and support our customers.
As part of the Reabrook Group, we combine decades of chemical formulation expertise with continual investment in safer technologies, responsible manufacturing and innovative cleaning solutions that help businesses achieve exceptional cleaning performance while reducing environmental impact.
Developing safer chemistry for the future
The chemical industry continues to evolve, with increasing focus on safer ingredients, environmental responsibility and changing legislation.
At Arrow Solutions, we continually review and improve our formulations to ensure customers benefit from high-performance cleaning products that meet both today’s requirements and tomorrow’s expectations.
Our chemists work proactively to replace ingredients where safer alternatives become available, reducing substances of concern wherever possible without compromising cleaning performance. This ongoing programme of reformulation allows customers to purchase with confidence, knowing their products are supported by a manufacturer committed to continual improvement.
Rather than reacting to legislation, we aim to stay ahead of it, investing in research and development that enables us to introduce more sustainable chemistry before regulatory changes become mandatory.
“At Arrow Solutions, every formulation is an opportunity to improve. Our focus is on developing chemistry that delivers the performance our customers expect while continually evaluating safer raw materials, reducing substances of concern and staying ahead of evolving legislation. Sustainability and innovation go hand in hand, and that’s how we’ll continue to develop products for the future.”

PFAS-free chemistry you can trust
One area receiving increasing attention across industry is the use of PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) – sometimes referred to as “forever chemicals” because they can remain in the environment for extremely long periods.
PFAS have historically been used across a wide range of industrial and consumer products because of their water, oil and stain-resistant properties. However, growing scientific research and proposed legislation are encouraging manufacturers to move away from unnecessary PFAS wherever practical.
At Arrow Solutions, we are committed to developing PFAS-free cleaning products wherever performance requirements allow.
By formulating without intentionally added PFAS, we help customers prepare for evolving UK and international legislation while supporting their own environmental, sustainability and compliance objectives.
Our commitment extends beyond today’s requirements. We continually monitor regulatory developments, emerging scientific evidence and advances in chemical technology to ensure our formulations remain safe, effective and fit for the future.
Choosing Arrow Solutions means working with a manufacturer that’s investing in chemistry designed for long-term sustainability – not simply today’s compliance.
Sustainable cleaning extends beyond liquid chemicals
Cleaning isn’t only about bottles and trigger sprays.
Industrial wipes play a vital role in improving workplace cleanliness, reducing waste, supporting quality standards and increasing productivity across manufacturing and engineering environments.
Arrow Solutions supplies a comprehensive range of industrial cleaning wipes suitable for demanding applications including engineering workshops, aerospace production, maintenance operations, food manufacturing and industrial facilities.
Our wipes help businesses:
- Improve cleaning consistency
- Reduce product contamination
- Support quality control processes
- Minimise unnecessary chemical usage
- Improve operator efficiency
- Reduce cleaning downtime
When used alongside the correct cleaning chemicals, high-quality wipes become an important part of a cleaner, safer and more efficient manufacturing process.
Responsible packaging with a lower environmental impact
Sustainability doesn’t stop with the chemistry inside the container.
Arrow Solutions continues to support packaging initiatives that reduce environmental impact while maintaining product protection, safety and performance.
Across the wider Reabrook Group, Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastics are being introduced across an increasing number of product ranges. By incorporating recycled materials into packaging, we reduce reliance on virgin plastics while supporting a more circular economy and lowering the overall carbon footprint of our products.
Alongside these developments, product labels continue to be updated to meet current UK and EU CLP legislation, providing customers with clear, compliant product information that supports safe storage, transportation and use throughout the supply chain.
“Packaging is an important part of our sustainability journey. We’re continually reviewing opportunities to introduce more sustainable materials, reduce environmental impact and ensure our packaging meets the highest standards of performance, safety and compliance. Every improvement helps our customers make more responsible purchasing decisions without compromising product quality.”

Manufacturing responsibly
Our commitment to sustainability begins long before our products reach customers.
Through ongoing investment in manufacturing technology and environmental improvements, the Reabrook Group continues to reduce its environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of product quality and consistency.
One of the most significant investments has been the installation of nearly 1,000 solar panels across our manufacturing facility.
This renewable energy system now generates approximately 20% of annual electricity requirements, with around 80% of the electricity generated being consumed directly on-site. The installation is expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 75 tonnes of CO₂ every year, helping lower reliance on grid electricity while supporting more sustainable manufacturing.
Alongside renewable energy generation, continual investment includes:
- Energy-efficient manufacturing equipment
- Process optimisation
- Waste reduction initiatives
- Increased recycling
- Responsible raw material selection
- Continuous environmental performance monitoring
Every improvement contributes towards delivering the high-quality cleaning products customers expect with a continually reducing environmental footprint.
Built on recognised international standards
When selecting a chemical supplier, product performance is only part of the decision.
Customers also need confidence that products are manufactured responsibly, consistently and in accordance with recognised international standards.
Arrow Solutions operates within the Reabrook Group’s integrated management system, certified to internationally recognised standards including:
ISO 9001 – Quality Management
ISO 14001 – Environmental Management
ISO 45001 – Occupational Health & Safety Management
These certifications demonstrate our commitment to continuous improvement, quality assurance, environmental responsibility and employee wellbeing across every stage of our operations.
Sustainability is a journey of continual improvement
There is no single solution to sustainability.
Instead, meaningful progress comes through continual innovation, responsible investment and a commitment to improving every aspect of how products are developed and manufactured.
Whether that’s creating PFAS-free formulations, introducing safer chemistry, reducing packaging impact, investing in renewable energy or helping customers improve cleaning efficiency through innovative products such as industrial wipes, Arrow Solutions remains committed to delivering professional cleaning solutions with sustainability at their core.
As legislation evolves and customer expectations continue to rise, we’ll continue investing in the chemistry, technologies and manufacturing processes that help businesses clean more effectively while reducing environmental impact.
