Upcycling Solutions to Support a Sustainable Future
By proactively rethinking how we purchase, maintain, and protect our furnishings, we can ensure that every stakeholder in the chain benefits for generations to come. Tony Leask | Founder + CEO
What is the Circular Economy
The circular economy shifts from the linear 'take-make-dispose' model to a more sustainable approach that minimizes waste, maximizes resource efficiency, and promotes regenerative design. By focusing on reuse, recycling, and regeneration, it aims to reduce environmental impact and foster a sustainable future.
Premium Surface Protection's Role
PSP combines innovation with sustainability to offer advanced solutions for textile preservation, becoming a pillar in the circular economy framework. Our products are designed to extend the lifespan of furnishings and textiles, reduce maintenance, conserve water, and decrease the need for early replacements, giving furniture a second life in homes where people feel proud to own them.

PSP is dedicated to technical excellence and environmental responsibility. Our protective coatings use advanced technologies to create breathable barriers that protect surfaces from moisture, stains, and microbes. Utilizing nanotechnology and the principles of chemistry and physics, we deliver exceptional durability and performance while minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, our products are non-toxic, eco-friendly, biodegradable, and free from forever chemicals.
Circular Economy Applications
PSP's applications span a wide range of industries and sectors, all supporting the core objectives of the circular economy. In the built environment, our products are essential for prolonging the life of architectural surfaces, lowering maintenance costs, and conserving resources. Whether in commercial or residential settings, our protective coatings help maintain the durability and appearance of surfaces, encouraging sustainable construction and design practices.
How Upcycling Programs Support the Circular Economy Ethos
To support sustainable practices and the circular economy, we've introduced the UPCYCLING PROGRAMME as a key part of our brand. This initiative aligns with the circular economies' focus on keeping materials at their highest value.
Upcycling breathes new life into old materials by revitalizing existing interiors, extending their service life, and minimizing environmental impact. Rather than discarding commercial furniture after a typical eight-year cycle, we enhance its durability from the start. This approach allows furniture to be resold, donated, reused in lower-spec settings, or marketed directly to consumers.
By applying protection early, we can potentially double the lifespan of furnishings, making them easier to maintain and ready for new use in various environments.
How Upcycling Benefits all Stakeholders and Drives Sustainable Solutions
By engaging in the circular economy, stakeholders such as furniture manufacturers, furnishing owners, architects, hotel managers, and building managers can maximize the value and longevity of their assets.
- Customers enjoy well-maintained, aesthetically pleasing, and healthy furnishings.
- Furniture manufacturers benefit from extended product lifespans and preserved aesthetics.
- Commercial managers experience reduced CO2 emissions, conserved natural resources, better investment protection, and reduced cleaning costs.
- Upcycling also fosters a healthier environment by minimizing bacterial growth.
Even if furnishings have not been protected initially, furnishings in good condition can still be upcycled, restoring and safeguarding their value for future use.
PSP embraces these principles by offering comprehensive cleaning, restoration, and protection services to extend the life of furnishings and align with sustainable practices. The company focuses on innovation and collaboration with industry partners and environmental organizations to promote a shift towards a more sustainable, regenerative future, aiming to redefine sustainability and preservation standards.
