We hope you find our web site easy to navigate and use – we have tried to minimise the technical science bit in favour of being pragmatic with relevant case studies or customer endorsements.
Our team is committed to a service ethos to help all our customers become better acquainted with the ecobug® ecological range. Each of the products perform the job of powerful everyday cleaners without use of harmful chemicals.
Our success has been built on developing our own products, in line with corporate governance focusing on products, which not only benefit society, but also work within the local natural ecology and resources.
ecobug® products are based on naturally occurring biological and bacterial solutions to hygiene and water treatment, improving and maintaining waste water and sewage disposal, and reducing water demand generally, particularly in areas of restricted water supply.
All ecobug® products are designed and produced to the highest quality standards, and we are proud to make the claim of having a significantly higher effectiveness than our competitors in the biological and bacterial sector.Ask for a quote.
Our History
ecobug® is the brand name of APH Environment Ltd, and we have been offering eco sustainability solutions for over 25 years. We have a strong work ethic derived from our early days as a family run business. The original founder, Philip Hinman, hales from a family of farmers dating back four generations. This knowledge and care of the land and the environment was a key founding value to the development of the business. It is something we instil in all our extended family (our colleagues, partners, associates and customers) and it is a partnership where we are responsible for leaving a legacy of sustainability. Care and firm principles around product performance and our service ethos from our early founding principles have been behind our continued success. We now derive over half our revenues from contracts in other countries and have expanded our resources internationally. A note from Will Hinman, the current family member at the helm:
Dear Reader,
From the outset when my father (Philip Hinman) developed his land drainage, sewage and water consultancy, back in 1972, we played a major role in projects with the Water Research Centre for the development of colour CCTV systems, the leak noise correlation, proving of the national standard for sewer data capture and record keeping. Other activities included overseas working in Cairo, South Africa and North Sea projects and many others less glamorous schemes such rat baiting studies.
Building on this knowledge and care of the environment we developed specialist biological treatments to some of the problems encountered. This led to a joint venture with Cardiff University in our early days where various strains of what in simplistic terms can be stated as "good bacteria" were evolved, which manage the bad bacteria. APH became an innovative force in the development of "Specialised Microbial, Antimicrobial, Plant Extract and Enzyme Technologies". This has formed the basis of over 120 products, which are marketed under the brand name ecobug® that has been registered all around the world.
We are proud to be living up to our vision of leading in the UK biological and clean-up industry by increasing our customer base worldwide, expanding our range of activities and building our brand reputation for quality performance in both our products and our people.
We look forward to helping you deliver your environmental sustainability objectives now and in the future.
