The Most Valuable Pollution Prevention (MVP2) Award is presented annually to companies demonstrating outstanding achievement in Pollution Prevention by the National Pollution Prevention Roundtable (NPPR). WSI is being awarded for a third time. Previous recognitions were for removal of NPEs, Phosphates, EDTA, and petroleum solvents. This year's MVP2 recognition is for TRUpath™ technology, which removes the use of Sodium Hydroxide or caustic soda (Alkali) in wash formulas. TRUpath™ has made washing in the industry, not only possible without the use of harsh alkali, but cost effective, efficient, and at the highest cleaning quality.
NPPR Board member Rick Reibstein stated: "All of the chemicals WSI focuses on eliminating are important to avoid, and if people would follow their example, substantial environmental improvement would result." He added that "Achieving significant reductions in energy and water use make this significant" and praised WSI's "holistic approach, which is most efficient and most ethically responsible."
CEO John Walroth remarked: "It is truly gratifying to see our entire company receiving another recognition for TRUpath™." He noted the company challenged its R&D team five years prior to realize this innovation, benefiting customers, communities, and the environment.
WSI is the market leader in commercial laundry chemicals, founded in 1989 and currently in their 30th year of business showing continual year-over-year growth.
