Speakers

  • Nora Potter
    Nora Potter
    Managing Director, Ecofy

    Nora Potter is one of Australia’s leading innovators in chemical free cleaning technology. Her family has been involved in the cleaning supply industry for more than 50 years.
    Naturally, she has a thorough understanding of cleaning chemicals. And with new technology available, Nora knows you can be safe and green without compromising on clean.
    Her mission to change the way Australia cleans all started with a realisation that general cleaning chemicals are harmful to the environment and not all Green Chemicals are safe as perceived.
    She has championed the use of cleaning technology in many businesses and, as its use reaches a tipping point, she is seeing a dramatic change in the quality of lives of Australian cleaners while assisting them reach their Sustainability goals.
    The cleaning industry today is more conscious of the Environment and health and safety than ever before. Cleaning staff no longer need to suffer with asthma, dermatitis, headaches, nose bleeds and other related reactions to the chemicals they were using for many years. Sick days and accidents from using toxic and unnecessary chemicals can now be a thing of the past.
    Nora quietly sees her greatest success is the fact that cleanliness does not need to come at the expense of health or the environment.
