New Italian washer up and running

This month saw the installation of a major new piece of cleaning equipment at Fresh & Clean as we retired our large single barrel 65 kg washer with a brand new twin barrel 70kg machine. Our old single barrel machine had served us faithfully for more than 25 years.
All the way from Italy and especially designed to our specifications and manufactured in Bolongna by ItalClean, this purpose built machine gives us great flexibility and has been built for our customers' needs. As there are no generic manufacturers of cleaning equipment left in Australia we sourced the best equipment fit for our business and our customers and this is why we chose ItalClean.
We started stripping out the old machine on Saturday morning and by Sunday afternoon we were fully operational so as to not cause any disruption to production and ensure our customers' garments were ready to be processed the minute we had steam up in the boilers.
Thanks to Bill Saad and his team from UDS Pty Limited who did a grand job on our installation and with whom we have continued to have an ongoing partnership as our external Maintenance Contractor for our major monthly services."

Taking our Environmental Responsibility seriously
Although Fresh & Clean is a small family owned business we take our corporate responsibility seriously. No more so than in the area of care for our environment. We have been members of the local Councils' Target Sustainability Program and also the NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change's Sustainability Advantage Program for several years now. As part of these programs we have committed to reducing our environmental footprint as a business. This means that although our business continues to grow we have committed to a reduction of 10% in our waste going to landfill, a 10% reduction in the use of energy and a 10% reduction in the amount of water that we use. This is proving to be a large undertaking but with the assistance of all of us who work here and the energy audits undertaken we are working hard to achieve our goals.
Our efforts have been rewarded and recognised. In 1997 we received the award for the Most Improved Environmental Performance by a Business and in 2003 we received the award for the Best Environmental Performance by a Business in the Marrickville Municipality. These are no small feats for a small firm in an industry that has traditionally not been responsive to the impact it has on the environment. We feel we are good members of our local community and our custodianship of the environment for the benefit of our children and future generations is a vital for a better future for us all.

Fresh and Clean win Environmental Award
 |
Steve Gordon, Councillor Fiona Byrne and Susie Smith |
In November this year Fresh & Clean were again recognised for their commitment to the environment when founder Steve Gordon received another Environmental Award at a ceremony held in Steel Park by the upper reaches of the Cooks River in Marrickville.
Steve is seen here with the Deputy Mayor of Marrickville Council, Clr Fiona Byrne and Susie Smith from the Department of Environment & Climate Change, receiving the Award recognising the commitment Fresh & Clean has made to the NSW Governments "Sustainable Advantage" Program that is coordinated locally by Marrickville Council.
"The receipt of these Awards is a stunning achievement and a humbling experience for us considering we are a small family owned organisation operating in a field dominated by large multi-national public companies" said Steve in thanking both the Council and the Department for the support the business had received during the last twelve months.
Fresh and Clean has been recognised since 1997 as a leader in the utilisation of environmentally sustainable work practices when we took out the Award for "Most Improved Environmental Performance" for a business in the Municipality of Marrickville and again in 2003 when we won the prestigious "Best Environmental Performance by a Business" in the Marrickville Industrial Estate.
