Why Choose Bawcro for Sustainable Gritting Services?
At Bawcro, we believe keeping people safe in winter shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment. That’s why our approach to snow and ice management is rooted in responsibility, efficiency, and smarter working. We proudly offer sustainable gritting services that balance safety with environmental care.
What Makes Our Gritting Services Sustainable?
We go beyond simply spreading salt, every part of our service is designed with sustainability in mind:
- High Purity White Marine Rock Salt
As part of our commitment to sustainable gritting services, Bawcro uses high purity white marine rock salt sourced from the Mediterranean Sea. Naturally evaporated using solar energy, this salt is nearly 100% pure sodium chloride, meaning every granule contributes effectively to melting ice and snow. Unlike traditional brown grit, it leaves no dirty residue behind, making it ideal for sites where appearance matters such as schools, retail parks, commercial estates and footpaths. Its clean performance also reduces the risk of staining and corrosion, while its consistent grain size ensures even coverage and less waste. By choosing white marine salt, we deliver efficient, low-impact gritting that’s safer for both people and the environment. - Liquid De-Icing Sprays
To support our focus on sustainable gritting services, we also offer advanced liquid de-icing solutions. These fast acting treatments begin working immediately on contact and remain effective in extremely low temperatures, making them ideal for high risk areas such as footpaths, steps, car parks and building entrances. Liquid de-icers allow for precise application, reducing the amount of material used and helping to minimise environmental impact. With less mess, lower corrosion risk and greater efficiency, this method is a smart and responsible choice for sites that need reliable protection with minimal disruption. - Route Optimisation
Our teams plan gritting routes carefully to avoid unnecessary mileage and reduce emissions. Fewer trips mean less fuel, less congestion, and a smarter way to deliver our sustainable gritting services. - Weather Monitoring for Smarter Decisions
We use real time weather data to avoid over gritting and to target the right areas at the right time. This helps reduce salt waste and ensures we only treat surfaces when truly needed. - Proactive Scheduling
Encouraging customers to pre book winter maintenance reduces the need for last minute emergency callouts, which are often less efficient and require more resources.
