Algae prevention treatment of holding pond<br />

in the region and eventually even relocate our head<br />

<br />

markets that we want to get close to and work in<br />

a variety of innovative partnerships both with customers<br />

and distributors.<br />

This is best practiced with a strong presence and<br />

basing yourself closer to your customers. As the<br />

business continues to grow we will look to expand<br />

our science base beyond Australia and move that<br />

into the region as well, it is our intention wo build<br />

relationships with educational facilities and other<br />

science based businesses to increase the depth and<br />

credibility of the product range.<br />

Could you share with us your current range of<br />

products?<br />

A: We currently have over 25 products in the<br />

range targeting four main areas of use, Cleaning<br />

Products, Sanitisers, Odour Control and Waste<br />

Water Remediation are where our products are<br />

currently used. We have products such as General<br />

Purpose Cleaners, Bathroom Cleaners and Floor<br />

Cleaners that are used by the Hotel and Cleaning<br />

industries.<br />

<br />

of waste water of all types. Odour control products<br />

that can be used from domestic to large commercial<br />

applications. A unique range of sanitisers including<br />

two patented products, a long lasting surface<br />

sanitiser that will continue to kill germs on a hard<br />

42<br />

surface for up to 30 days and air sanitiser that will<br />

kill airborne bacteria and mould. Even our Hand<br />

sanitiser is Alcohol Free contains skin moisturis-<br />

<br />

Which type of product / market segment would<br />

you say is the bulk of your revenue coming from?<br />

A: The washroom and hygiene service industry<br />

is currently one of our largest areas of supply.<br />

Our bacterial products are currently used in over<br />

200,000 public and commercial washrooms every<br />

day to control the waste and odour emanating from<br />

the toilet and urinal systems.<br />

Our sanitisers are used to control harmful bacteria<br />

in the air and on the hard surfaces throughout<br />

the washroom environment. Health acre and<br />

educational facilities are building within our business<br />

as is the hospitality market through the provision<br />

of goods to hotels for cleaning and sanitizing<br />

purposes.<br />

Treatment of commercial waste in grease traps<br />

is something that we are also working on developing<br />

in the region as we have been doing this for a<br />

number of years in Australia.<br />

Any plans to explore other industries which may<br />

provide avenues for revenue?<br />

A: Yes, we spent many years researching the<br />

Aquaculture market and waste water remediation.<br />

We have a range of products that can be applied to<br />

these industries and we see this as one our larger<br />

potential markets given the enormity of the issues<br />

surrounding waste water. Commercial waste from<br />

manufacturing, healthcare, education and primary<br />

industry are key targets for us.<br />

What is your outlook for the industry in the<br />

current economic climate?<br />

A: Very positive. People are looking for environmentally<br />

responsible solutions to their everyday<br />

problems and we can provide that. There is<br />

the common misconception that an environmentally<br />

solution will either cost more or not work as<br />

well as a chemical solution.<br />

<br />

products will outperform harsh or toxic chemical<br />

alternatives and do so at a more than competitive<br />

<br />

we still have to win business on a price basis as our<br />

<br />

businesses and this will continue to put pressure on<br />

our selling margins.<br />

ers<br />

will start to pay more attention to the environment<br />

and their impact on it. More and more companies<br />

are becoming accredited to ISO <strong>14</strong>001, the<br />

Environmental Management Standard and we<br />

can help them with this while saving them money<br />

and providing them with solutions they never had<br />

before.<br />
