What Toucan Eco does

Toucan Eco is a UK-based brand of eco-friendly disinfectant cleaning systems operated by Robert Scott & Sons Ltd and manufactured by Centrego. The company produces a range of electrolysis devices — from the compact eSpray 350ml (£39.98) and Worktop 1L (£99.98) for households, to commercial systems including Centrego Renew 2L (£495), Active 10L, Active Plus 20L, Auto 20L, and Flow 40L (the latter available via trade pricing only). Each device uses Electrochemical Activation (ECA) to pass an electrical current through a water-and-salt solution, producing hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and sodium hypochlorite as active disinfectant compounds. The resulting solution is certified to EN 14476, EN 16777, EN 1276, EN 13697 and EN 13727, registered as a UK Biocide, listed under Article 95 of EU Biocides regulations, and certified under the VAH scheme for medical-grade efficacy.

The business model is hardware-led: revenue comes primarily from one-time device sales plus accessories such as refillable atomiser spray bottles and salt sachets. There are minimal recurring consumable costs because the only ongoing inputs are salt, water, and electricity, and the solution reverts to slightly salty water after 5-7 days. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct-to-consumer e-commerce through toucaneco.co.uk for household and small-workplace units, combined with trade/commercial sales handled via phone and contact form for larger facilities. Distribution is anchored by the parent company, Robert Scott & Sons Ltd — described as Europe's largest manufacturer of professional cleaning equipment — supplemented by channel partners such as Spectrum Cleaning Solutions.

Toucan Eco serves three identifiable customer segments: household consumers seeking non-toxic, plastic-reducing cleaning solutions; professional/commercial facilities including hospitality venues, hotels, care homes, offices, and facilities management companies (with enterprise references including The Restaurant Group across 210 sites, Somerset House, Cedar Court Hotels, Hive Cleaning, FIKA Catering, Alchemilla, and Gwyn Hall); and industrial verticals spanning food processing, agriculture, healthcare, and water treatment. Documented value propositions include approximately 80% reduction in chemical spend, up to 99.999% germ kill, no PPE or COSHH training requirements, and elimination of single-use plastic bottles — with commercial customers typically achieving ROI within 6-12 months.
