Managed Care Economical Solutions (MCES) is an organisation that has associated itself with experienced developers and manufacturers of innovative, environmentally responsible, biotechnology products based on the use of natural microbes and enzymes. According to MCES, biological action is always preferable to chemical action, as it is non-caustic, non-corrosive and offers maximum effectiveness in this tough environment. Bioenzymes revolutionising industrial cleaning

John J Coetzee, CEO at Managed Care Economical Solutions (MCES).

I n the field of industrial cleaning, the antiquated mantra dictates that the stronger the product smells, the better it works. Using this approach, many companies utilised acrid, chemically driven products that were ineffectual against many strains of bacteria and dangerous to the health of those using the products. However, as Africa (and the world) became ever more conscious of the need for environmentally friendly approaches, the rise of biological cleaners emerged. According to John J Coetzee, CEO at ManagedCareEconomical Solutions (MCES), biological action is always preferable to chemical action, as it is non-caustic, non- corrosive and offers maximum effectiveness in this tough environment. “Yet not all bio- enzymatic products arewhat they claimtobe. Without the right concentration of bacterial specification, featuring multi-strain spores, the products will not degrade organic waste effectively.” MCES is an established bio-enzyme sup- plier to the South African industrial cleaning

and facilities management market. With a passion formaking theworld cleaner, greener and smarter, Coetzee has launched a busi- ness-to-business programme, which strives to supply biological and detergent enzymes to the cleaning solutions manufacture and formulating business sector. “By doing so, we envision assisting these manufacturers and formulators in developing sustainable cleaning solutions that are both effective and non-polluting. With the adjustment of their existing product formulae, and the additionof bio-enzyme, they can instantlybegindevelop- ing their own line of green cleaning products.” The cleaning of hard surfaces soiled with organics is problematic without the addition of biologicals, and grease traps cannot work effectively without these enzymes. MCES develops a series of high bacterial specifica- tion, multi-strain, spore-based concentrate formulas for onwardmanufactureof products specifically for the degradation of organic waste, hard surface cleaning agents, grease traps and drain management. Biological degraders are highly effective,

offering proven natural technology. “This reduces the requirement and frequency of mechanical treatment to unblock drains due to grease build-up or degrade organics built up on hard surfaces,” advises Coetzee. “Oils, fats and grease are also partially degraded by the time they reach treatment plants, reduc- ing system overload.” Coetzee confirms that this approach of- fers four key benefits to partners. In terms of economic value, the programme empowers manufacturers to increase the sales of their products by meeting a real and growing local demand for sustainable cleaning products. The products’ differentiating value increases participants’ ability to set themselves apart fromtheir chemically focused competitionby demonstrating genuine concern and commit- ment to sustainable products that are proven safer for people and the environment. “With exemplary support from the MCES team, manufacturers are offered customised assistance, whileoffering a stand-alone lineof revolutionary,environmentallysound,healthy and safe products,” Coetzee concludes. q

MCES strives to supply biological and detergent enzymes for safer and more environmental cleaning solutions for the industrial and commercial cleaning sectors.
