Councillor Martin said, "the Green Business Fife Awards represent the very significant commitment made by companies to put Fife on the map as a place to do business in a sustainable and competitive way. In recognising and rewarding companies that have introduced new initiatives and projects for better sustainable business practice, the Green Business Fife Awards aim to promote greater awareness and environmental innovation throughout Fife.

Green Business Award - Best New Product

November 2008

Nu-Phalt won a prestigious Green Business Award in 2008, thanks to the infrared system's environmental benefits over traditional road repair methods. The system's ability to dramatically reduce the carbon emissions of road and pothole repairs helped Nu-Phalt win BestNew Product after a rigorous entry and shortlisting process from a judging panel of Government and environment experts.

The Nu-Phalt system uses a patented infrared heater and releases just one seventh of the CO2 of traditional road repair, independently verified by the Scottish Institute of Sustainable Technology, as well as being more cost-effective, quicker and less disruptive. The Green Business Award judging panel, which included Prof. John Chesshire OBE of the Government's Sustainable Energy Policy Advisory Board, praised Nu-Phalt's system as "a glowing example of eco-innovation", saying "rarely can environmental improvements claim such all-round benefits".
