The Phantas can also be used with an optional service station that automatically charges the machine, and whilst on charge the water tanks are automatically emptied, cleaned, and refilled. This machine is a game-changer!
Your commitment and focus on ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) has also been well documented. What sustainable products and services do you currently offer, and what is your ESG strategy going forward?
ESG is absolutely at the heart of our strategy, evidenced by the fact that we have been awarded a silver medal by Ecovadis – a global sustainability assessment organisation – in recognition of our sustainability commitment, and this result places us in the top 25% of companies.
We’re not only committed to a greener future through our own ESG strategy, but we also place the utmost focus on ensuring we offer products and services to customers that support their own sustainability goals and commitments.
These include our well-established video calling technology (ICE Smartcall) that enables onsite operatives to instantly connect with an ICE Technician who guides them through steps to diagnose and fix simple equipment issues, without the need to send an engineer to site. This service saves the equivalent of seven Field Engineers, which in turn results in a massive 57.4 tonnes of carbon saved per year. This technology solution increases productivity and cleaning efficiency by reducing machinery downtime.
Switching from traditional manual cleaning machines to ICE Co-Botics autonomous equipment not only saves up to 1628 hours of cleaning time per year, but it can also save up to 139,412L of water annually compared to a traditional scrubber dryer. That’s equivalent to almost 1000 baths.
Our ICE Aquasmart chemical-free cleaning products also offer a highly sustainable solution as these products dramatically reduce chemical usage, single use plastics, and the carbon footprint of delivering products to site. ICE Aquasmart transforms ordinary tap water into Aqueous Ozone (o³), a safe but powerful cleaning and sanitising solution perfect for any cleaning application or sector. Aqueous Ozone is a fully sustainable, natural cleaner and

sanitiser, and is completely harmless to humans and animals. It’s more powerful than bleach and is effective against bacteria, moulds, and viruses.
Our ICE Urban equipment range includes a number of electric-powered street cleaning machines which are becoming increasingly popular with our customers, and we’ve recently installed these machines in the iconic Covent Garden area of London.
Additionally, a number of scrubber dryers in our range have advanced non-stop-cleaning filtration systems to increase water recycling during operation. This results in enhanced productivity from reduced emptying and refilling frequencies, and water savings of up to 60-70%.
As well as supporting our customers with a huge range of sustainable solutions, we’re totally committed to reducing our own environmental impact through a range of initiatives including battery, parts, and equipment recycling; transitioning to electric vehicles across our entire fleet; and carrying out annual carbon footprint analysis to support us reaching our goal of being Net Zero by 2030.
In terms of the future of ICE, what can we expect to see?
For ICE it’s really important we don’t get labelled or pigeonholed as solely a supplier of autonomous machines. As you know, our business has been established for over 50 years and has a wide, varied, and comprehensive offer of traditional equipment as well.
Our new Essential Line is extremely exciting and has taken off really well, offering no frills, functional equipment at extremely competitive pricing. We also plan to launch a new carpet care line in Q3, a complete range of new machines from small carpet spotting to larger combination machines.
Our mission ‒ as always ‒ will be to continue to innovate and differentiate, bringing new and relevant products into the hands of customers to support ESG, hygiene standards, and efficiencies.
