The atmosphere was electric, the competition fierce, and the stakes higher than ever. It was the 2023 UK Green Business Awards, and we were thrilled to be there among leading eco-conscious manufacturers for a night of celebration and recognition. Among them, PVA Hygiene stood tall, ultimately claiming the coveted title of Manufacturer of the Year!

The inaugural UK Green Business Awards in 2023 was a testament to the growing importance of environmental sustainability. Leading companies from various sectors had come together to compete in the spirit of eco-conscious innovation, with each participant showcasing their remarkable efforts to reduce their environmental footprint.

The success of the UK Green Business Awards can be attributed in part to the event organizers who ensured that every detail was impeccable. The organizers left no stone unturned in making the event a grand celebration of sustainability, with small details like a Vegan Carbon Neutral 3 course meal a really refreshing change to the usual award night food!  Speakers like Ed Miliband, a prominent advocate for climate action, lent their voices to the event. Their impassioned speeches served as a rallying cry for all those present, emphasizing the urgency of our collective mission to combat climate change and create a sustainable future.

PVA Hygiene’s victory in the Manufacturer of the Year category was a real honour to all of the team, making the hours of hard work by every member of staff worth it. It sent a powerful message that businesses can thrive while prioritizing environmental ethics. PVA Hygiene’s success hopefully will inspire others to re-evaluate their own practices and look for ways to make a positive impact.

All of us at PVA Hygiene would like to send a big thank you to UKGBA organisers and judges for a truly memorable night. To all the amazing companies in attendance we can only be grateful to have shared our evening with you; it has reaffirmed to us all that the future of UK Business is well and truly heading towards a better and brighter future.

25 years ago, PVA Hygiene was founded. Our goal was to provide effective, sustainable alternatives to traditional cleaning chemicals, that do not cost the earth. Helping to address issues that organisations and people face in the commercial cleaning industry such as a lack of storage, overdosing, transportation costs, heavy 5L containers and single-use plastic. Water soluble sachets provided the answer.

Sustainability is at the forefront of our every day; it drives our business as we strive for a brighter future for cleaning. The world is facing a global climate crisis, including an overwhelming amount of plastic pollution.

PVA Hygiene operates in Wrington, Bristol. We are the industry’s leading manufacturer of water-soluble sachets and place a lot of pride in our ability to innovate, to ensure we are providing the very best to our customers. Over the past 18 months we have been working tirelessly to bring the next generation of water-soluble sachets to the market. We can proudly say that PVA Hygiene now manufacturers both PVOH and Paper sachets.

In January 2023 we were contacted by the Somerset Chamber of Commerce to inform us that we’d been finalised for the Environmental Achievement Award! This was fantastic and made us feel very accomplished. We were visited by Gravity, the category sponsor, who conducted visits to all finalists of the Environmental Achievement Award.

After booking our tickets for the prestigious event at the Wintergardens in Weston Super Mare, we began to get very excited for the big day! Eight of our colleagues attended the black-tie event, including members of our warehouse and production team. We all felt very hopeful to win but also acknowledged that even becoming a finalist was a huge achievement. We were greeted with a drink’s reception, followed by a three-course meal. The host was fantastic and really engaged the audience.

Nervously waiting for it to get to our category, we enjoyed a cheese board!

We eventually reached the Environmental Achievement category and we were against some fantastic, worthy competition. However, when they finally announced the winner, it was PVA Hygiene! We were delighted with the victory and Nick (Operations and Production Director) and Will (Sales Manager) were presented the award by Gravity. The night was young and we all continued to enjoy the evening, with delicious food, drinks and being able to meet fellow Somerset businesses. As a huge supporter of community engagement, we all enjoyed getting to know our Somerset peers. We now proudly display our trophy and certificate in our welcome room in the office in Wrington.

Our next Awards ceremony is in June, where we’re nominated for manufacturer of the year at the UK Green Business Awards! We can’t wait for the occasion.

Join us on our journey of making a brighter future for cleaning.
