Eco-cleaning with Oxy’Pharm: An opportunity to improve performance
From bio-cleaning to eco-cleaning: Reconciling economic and environmental sustainability with Oxy’Pharm
According to an AFNOR study, 53% of companies that measure their non-quality costs estimate that they represent between 1 and 5% of their turnover. For 34% of them, this cost amounts to more than 5% or even more than 10%, which represents a significant margin for improvement in the company’s profitability. The cost of non-quality is a parameter that companies cannot afford to ignore because of its impact on the company’s financial health and performance. The subject is all the more sensitive in the agri-food sector, which also has to deal with health and environmental risks. How can you improve performance by investing in quality initiatives?
The transition from bio-cleaning to eco-cleaning is proving to be a strategic choice for companies in order to reconcile economic and environmental sustainability. Find out how and why Oxy’Pharm can support you in this global approach to continuous improvement with Sanivap and Nocotech, innovative eco-cleaning solutions that have proven their effectiveness.
Microbiological risk prevention: a lever for growth in the agri-food business
Non-quality: a competitive challenge
Non-quality, viewed as a management indicator, makes it possible to identify weaknesses, malfunctions and areas for improvement in the company’s internal processes. The ability to measure and control these costs then becomes a competitive advantage. In fact, every non-conformity, contamination or production loss provides an opportunity to define what corrective or preventive action needs to be taken, and at what cost, risk and return on investment (ROI). This methodical, proactive approach therefore makes perfect sense when it comes to balancing the costs of non-quality and investment in quality, as part of an overall approach to continuous improvement in the company’s performance.
Microbiological risk management in the agri-food sector: an opportunity to optimise profitability
In the food industry, one of the main sources of non-compliance is microbiological contamination.
Controlling microbiological risk should no longer be seen simply as a regulatory obligation or an additional cost for the company, but as a genuine lever for performance and growth. It can be seen as a profitable investment, based on a complete analysis of the costs involved in achieving quality. Each error, each loss of time, each anomaly can then be converted into margins for increased profitability. Each correction also strengthens the company’s position in the market.
Eco-cleaning: a strategic and ethical choice for your company
In a context where expectations in terms of sustainability and social responsibility are high, opting for eco-cleaning seems like a pragmatic decision. But how does eco-cleaning differ from bio-cleaning?
Bio-cleaning and eco-cleaning: what’s the difference?
Bio-cleaning is based on the use of processes that limit or eliminate the use of chemicals while guaranteeing a high level of hygiene. Eco-cleaning is a more holistic approach that integrates the company’s environmental and corporate social responsibility (CSR) objectives. This approach aims to reconcile operational efficiency, health safety, protection of human health and reduction of the ecological footprint.
What criteria should be taken into account when choosing a cleaning and disinfection method?
Implementing a hygiene method within a company is a much more strategic choice than it might at first appear.
The choice of cleaning and disinfection methods is not just a question of efficiency and cost. It must also be part of the company’s overall policy, in line with the quality manual, management objectives and, increasingly, corporate social responsibility (CSR). The decision-maker will then take into account various parameters such as the ergonomics of the method, exposure to occupational risks for employees, toxicology criteria for the products used and the environmental impact of the method.
Adopting eco-cleaning therefore becomes a strategic and ethical choice that supports performance objectives while promoting corporate responsibility.
Oxy’Pharm makes eco-cleaning possible
Oxy’Pharm, Sanivap and Nocotech solutions provide disinfection without harmful chemicals and with low water consumption. They are particularly well suited to the needs of hygiene professionals committed to an ecological and economical approach.
Sanivap, a high-performance, eco-responsible system for the food industry
The Sanivap steam method is a complete cleaning and disinfection solution with many advantages:
- Validated and standardised efficacy over a broad microbiological spectrum;
- steam’s versatility means it can be used to treat all types of surfaces suitable for steam bio-cleaning;
- The absence of chemical products means that no toxicological profile can be established;
- no risk of residual product on cleaned surfaces;
- Significant water savings, as the method does not require dilution water or rinsing;
- the absence of discharges into the environment.
The advantages of bio-steam cleaning mean that there is a paradigm shift from the methods traditionally used, and a response to some very topical issues.
Nocotech, a biodegradable disinfection method that respects the environment and people
Nocotech is a sustainable aerial surface disinfection (ASD) solution with the following positive features:
- a fully automated and therefore repeatable method;
- avoids contact with biocide products;
- Broad, homogeneous spectrum: this diffusion technology is effective against viruses, bacteria, yeasts, fungi and spores. Sporicidal technology can prove invaluable, particularly for all industries that handle powdered forms;
- the absence of dilution and rinsing water is a virtuous parameter in terms of resource management;
- the use of hydrogen peroxide, which naturally breaks down into water and oxygen, ensures there are no residues.
The Nocotech solution reduces microbiological risks and protects people (company staff and end consumers).
Bio-disinfection is a key function in the agri-food industry. The move from bio-cleaning to eco-cleaning with Oxy’Pharm solutions represents a strategic step forward for the food industry. The two methods, Sanivap and Nocotech, have proven their effectiveness, fit in perfectly with a CSR approach and offer a rapid ROI thanks to the reduction in consumables and costs linked to non-quality.
