What sustainability means to us 

At Premier Tech, sustainability is more than measurables goals.

It is going above and beyond to generate a greater positive impact for all. It is an ongoing journey and we are committed to sustain ourselves over time, finding the right balance between taking care of the planet and people to ensure a shared prosperity.

It is a commitment to sustainability and beyond.

 

Planet

For us, helping to protect the planet involves developing a comprehensive understanding of environmental challenges. It also means implementing concrete actions to minimize the footprint of our activities and products.  


A success story

The Ecoflo® biofilter, an ecodesign model 

As the Ecoflo® biofilter was designed, we wanted to unlock the potential of peat moss, and its function as a natural barrier and filter in wetlands. Our goal was to recreate that ecosystem in a gravitational water treatment system, which would naturally work without any additional energy source. 

Right from its original conception at the end of the 1980s, the Ecoflo® biofilter was innovative and included concepts inspired from the life cycle thinking — great life expectancy, gravity mechanism, compact and repairable. Life cycle analyses have since then confirmed the relevance of this process and they are now the foundation on which we keep developing the product.

Success story

Raising the standards through collaboration 

As a founding member of the Peatland Ecology Research Group (PERG), Premier Tech has been committed to its success since 1992. The PERG results from a collaboration between the Canadian horticultural peat moss industry, the academic scientific community as well as federal and provincial government agencies.

Our strong and historical partnership with the PERG shows our commitment to maintain high peat bogs management standards and continuously improve them — not only in Canada, but also in Europe.
