sustainability

Approach
For MA-FRA the concept of “green cleaning” has developed through several stages, which have seen our company consistently excel in the industry as a company with low environmental impact.
In the early eighties, being a leader in eco-sustainability was very brave, especially considering that, at the time, the issue of environmental protection was not particularly felt.
MA-FRA, however, has gained over time experience and expertise, managing to reach, for its “green” detergents, levels of performance and cost comparable to those of non-ecological products.
A great result, which rewards the almost forty years of effort of our company in the challenging task of environmental protection.

Here are the main phases that marked the MA-FRA approach to environmental protection:

Commitment
Our company is committed to the continuous improvement of the environmental performance of its products through the application of new technologies and new environmentally friendly active ingredients.
This is a primary objective that MA-FRA is committed to achieving by all means, with the involvement of all and through a training activity also aimed at its employees and collaborators. MA-FRA, in fact, wants to be, and is, recognized as a trusted partner by all its customers, bearer of a balanced industrial development and appreciated by the community.
On the organizational side, the adoption, first in the sector, of a quality and environment management system in accordance with ISO-9001:2000 2015 and ISO-14001 standards:2004 2015 provides the Company with a tool capable of offering a better degree of efficiency of both its products, performance and business processes.
For this purpose, process meters have been introduced, with the relative performance indices, which provide immediate evidence of process performance, environmental performance and any need for improvement.

All this, but not only this, helps to outline what we love to call our “Life Style”, a way of being really unique that not only aims at an end in itself quality but that points to something superior, a quality permeated by respect for nature and for others.

Advances

On the production side, the Unika line is a concrete step forward in terms of eco-sustainability: in fact, the entire line has been developed with the aim of obtaining 14 hyper-compatible high-performance products reducing the environmental impact.

This is how a line is born that can simplify the work of the professional, to whom it is dedicated, and cope with the strictest European regulations on environmental protection. Waxes, despite being free or low in hydrocarbons, are able to offer an unparalleled shine, a long-lasting water-repellent effect and high self drying characteristics. Thanks to the low environmental impact formulations, the Unika Line products allow to recover and reuse 30% of the water in the washing plants. It has not been an easy goal to achieve, but it is the most difficult challenges that advance research and, together, man and companies.
MA-FRA has always been oriented to the protection of the environment, through concrete actions really brave because implemented many years ago with enormous sacrifices, when it was really difficult to make the market understand the usefulness of using environmentally friendly products.
Some examples? Our company was the first to launch the CFC-free spray line, put a line of phosphate-free detergents into production, and first developed a line of formulations without NTA.
It is not enough to simply “paint green” a tank to make a product become “ecological green”: MA-FRA knows this very well!
