NEWSLETTER Autumn/Winter 2014 Morclean Wins Green Apple Award On 10 th November 2014 Morclean collected a national environmental award for their Binwash City, from the Houses of Parliament.   Morclean scooped the prestigious Green Apple Award for Environmental Best Practice at a ceremony at the Houses of Parliament in London, for their battery operated wheelie bin-cleaning machine. Morclean launched the first Wheelie Bin Cleaning Machine as a petrol version in late 2012; due to the popularity of the first range of machines, Morclean have been developing a brand new, innovative battery operated bin-cleaning machine since. The City battery machine is a totally new idea in the bin cleaning industry and takes huge steps forward to improve what is currently available. With worldwide emphases on green and eco-friendly products, the Binwash City offers a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to those conscious about their carbon footprint.  Morclean Director, Pet...

Morclean Bear with his Green Apple Award 2014 Certificate Morclean Bear was a happy little chap when we bought his Certificate and Award to the office this week. Morclean Bear didn't quite make the journey to London (he's not as adventurous as Paddington), but he was still ecstatic with the prizes he received from Green Apple! The Green Apple Award, awarded to Morclean 2014!  Morclean were awarded the Green Apple Award 2014 for their innovation in bin cleaning machines. The Binwash CITY is a battery operated bin cleaning machine which takes cleaning to the next level. With a hydraulic lift and attached pressure washer hose, the machine makes bin cleaning easy, and means you can reap the rewards in the process, earning up to £160,000 per year from just ONE machine.

The New Fleet - photos by Peter Morley With two new vans added to the fleet, we thought it would be a nice idea to get all the vans together to photograph our new road convoy. Morclean, as previously posted, have added two new Toyota Proace's to the fleet which are on the road as we speak. The vans replace two older models which have now been retired. We'd like to say a huge thank you to Excel Colour Print for their fantastic work lettering up the new vans. You can find out more about their services on their website here.  Two of the new vans - photos by Peter Morley

For once, this is a serious blog post. We are going to focus on why people flock year upon year to ISSA Interclean exhibitions worldwide and why they really are the best in the industry. Is it for their unrivaled visitor numbers? Or maybe their diversity of visitors? Maybe it's because of the variety of exhibitors? Or just that the best innovative technology in the business is on display all in one place? Although I'm sure many of these reasons are important reasons as to why people visit the show, we know none of those are the main reason why people visit Interclean. Nope. Nuh huh... The MAIN reason people visit Interclean is for the FREEBIES!!!! This lovely lady was a master at Freebie collecting, she came very prepared! Check out her TWO TROLLEYS full of goodies! And there we have it... the main reason people go to ISSA Inteclean isn't for the products or innovation, it's for all the free stuff they can pack into their trolleys... who knew!
