| 5 REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT The Trusts Arena The solar power system comprises 297 photovoltaic panels mounted on the arena’s roof, currently offsetting between 30 and 60% of the venue’s total electricity load. When The Trusts Arena set an ambitious target to divert 75 per cent of waste from land ill, the West Auckland venue knew every operational detail would need to be scrutinised including how its carpets were cleaned. The answer came from Green Shield Carpet Cleaning, a family-owned Auckland business that has been pioneering an unconventional approach to carpet maintenance using a biotechnological cleaning solution instead of harsh chemicals and excessive water. “We do things di erently,” says P J Fernandes, owner of Green Shield. “I've been using this environmentally friendly product to clean carpets for 15 years and have got great results.” Green Shield maintains The Trusts Arena's carpets on a carefully designed plan that maximises e iciency and minimises environmental impact. The company conducts a deep clean once annually, then returns quarterly to address high-tra ic areas and spot-clean spills. This approach keeps carpets in excellent condition without the resource-intensive processes. The biotechnology-based method means that, unlike traditional carpet cleaning, which requires signi icant water and electricity usage, Green Shield's bacterial cleaning system operates on a fraction of the resources and delivers superior results. “This method uses perhaps 10 per cent of the water we would normally use,” explains P J. “It also cuts down on electricity usage because it doesn't need hot water to work.” The bacterial cleaning technology works by harnessing microorganisms and enzymes that actively break down dirt, grease and grime. These bioactive ingredients continue working after the initial cleaning, providing ongoing results that extend the time between professional treatments. The environmental bene its of Green Shield's approach extend beyond water savings. The ultra-concentrated formulas eliminate single-use plastic waste and compact products reduce transport-related greenhouse gas emissions. The biodegradable, nature-powered ingredients replace toxic chemicals, improving indoor air quality and creating healthier environments for sta and visitors. For venues and businesses, the environmental advantages come alongside practical bene its. The system's neutral pH is gentle on surfaces and skin and its VOC-free formulas create healthier indoor environments without toxic exposure. While carpet cleaning remains its core service, Green Shield has expanded to o er a comprehensive range of cleaning solutions for both commercial and residential clients. The company provides upholstery cleaning for furniture, commercial curtain cleaning, area rug care, mattress cleaning to eliminate allergens and dust mites and even specialised chewing gum removal services. “Our mission is helping people live healthier lives by starting with a cleaner and healthier environment,” says P J. The family-run business prides itself on transparency and customer service. It o ers exact appointment times rather than vague windows, honest pricing with no hidden costs based on square footage, and uses only cleaning solutions registered as safe for children and pets. The company's technicians are trained in the latest cleaning techniques and equipped with state-of-the-art equipment.
