Sustainability
Premiere’s responsibility to its social and environmental surroundings is central to the company’s objectives. In order to achieve this, Premiere has broken down the key areas of the business and analysed them on a cradle to grave sustainable basis.
The Challenge, The Solution, The Goal; three steps that allow Premiere to continually move forward improving and contributing to the world around it.
The Manufacturing Site
The Challenge
Premiere as a manufacturer of both chemicals and cleaning machinery at the Oakley Gardens site is aware that all products must be manufactured in compliance with legislation and using the most efficient methods possible.
The Solution
Premiere is proud to say that it adheres to all current legislation for both UK and export markets. With an IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention & Control Directive) licence being granted in 2007 now called an Environmental Permit, Premiere can purchase & store bulk raw materials, minimising wastage, packaging & transport. The main chemical plant has no open drains, recycling all rinse down from the cleaning of vessels after batch manufacture into the product with no loss of quality and no external pollution. Waste to landfill is minimised by recycling cardboard, plastics & metal packaging, while ensuring that all cardboard packaging purchased contains a minimum of 30% recycled material.
The Goal
Premiere is both ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified and therefore is continually looking at ways to improve the systems it operates by and its environmental impact. This is particularly true in its manufacturing, where energy & water usage is constantly audited to maximise efficiency.
Chemical products
The Challenge
To eradicate the traditional view that chemicals are in conflict with the environment.
The Solution
Premiere is aware that it is not only the ingredients in the chemicals that have an impact but also how much is used. Premiere has looked to control the quantities by making its chemical range highly effective so it secures a first time clean, reducing the amount required for the cleaning task. The Easy C, highly concentrated dilution system takes this one step further by minimising packaging and maximising the chemical to cleaning task ratio. It has also formulated an environmentally friendly range called Natura.
The Goal
Premiere is committed to researching the raw materials in chemicals, making sure they are as environmentally friendly as possible. As well as developing new ranges that use innovation to improve cleaning and reduce environmental impact.
Machinery products
The Challenge
The cleaning machine market is more competitive than ever with competition from imports from as far a field as China. The challenge is to produce cost effective reliable machinery that minimises transport and reduces land fill.
The Solution
Premiere are proud that their core range of cleaning machinery is manufactured at its Oakley Gardens site, with a reputation for quality, this durable range of machinery is built to last. We also offer a full refurbished machinery range offers a truly sustainable option. Different grade machines are available to suit different applications, this cost effective recycled choice helps avoid landfill and therefore helps protect the environment.
The Goal
To introduce machinery that stands the test of time and with continual innovation, operates more productively, reducing the impact on power supply & chemical use.
Janitorial & paper products
The Challenge
The goal is to supply quality products from reputable suppliers that do the job and have a long and productive shelf life.
The Solution
Premiere’s selection of paper products is spearheaded by the Katrin range, specially selected for its environmental credentials.They use only paper from sustainable sources and mills with ISO 14001 certification and all the Katrin products adhere to Nordic Swan. The janitorial range is selected on quality and the ability to stand the test of time and complete the cleaning tasks both productively & efficiently. Wherever possible natural & sustainable products are offered including natural brushes and bio-degradable refuse sacks, these can be identified on the website through this symbol (sustainability logo).
The Goal
To keep at the cutting edge of innovation, and make sure that all products are built to last and wherever possible manufactured from sustainable materials.
Transport
The Challenge
Transport is a necessary part of modern business and an area that is placing strain both financially and environmentally on global economies. The goal is to minimise the amount of transport used.
The Solution
Premiere like to keep this simple and aim through superior service and stock management to maintain the current 98% first time delivery record so cutting out the need for extra lorries on the road. Combine this with the policy of supplying, where possible in full boxes and even pallets and the environmental impact is minimised.
The Goal
Premiere aim to maintain and improve on their 98% first time full delivery record, cutting out the need for second deliveries.
Training
The Challenge
A lot of focus is given to improving products, making them more productive and efficient, however unless the operator is correctly trained, products can be incorrectly used and accidents can occur.
The Solution
Premiere offer full on site surveys & training to all their customers, backed up by the award winning training centre in Cheltenham offering a full range of professional and BICSs approved training courses. Correct training controls the use of chemicals, extends the life of machinery and avoids accidents that may have impact on employees, the general public and the environment. Premiere leads the way in delivering training, backup and customer support.
The Goal
Through correct training, reduce the misuse and abuse of all products, extending their life and avoiding accidents that may have social and environmental impact.
Employment
The Challenge
To offer sustainable employment to the local community and further afield, while creating a safe and pleasant working environment.
The Solution
