Business Wire
Ecolab Inc. today announced that its newly launched ProTec
storage system recently won the 2010 German Packaging Award in the
transport category. The award, sponsored by the German Packaging
Institute, was announced on September 27 at FachPack, a trade fair
for packaging solutions in Nuremberg, Germany. This year’s award
placed special emphasis on sustainability and efficiency factors in
which ProTec excelled.
ProTec is a sustainable and efficient transport and storage
container for liquid detergents. It includes a 200-litre drum with
an integrated drip tray; if the drum inside leaks, the
patent-pending ProTec container collects the spilled liquid.
As a 100 percent closed system, ProTec helps eliminate human
exposure to spilled liquids. Integrated suction lances further
reduce exposure to chemicals and machinery, and complete drum
changes can take as little as thirty seconds. Finally, empty drums
are cleaned and re-used by Ecolab, further reducing the company’s
carbon footprint by reducing the need to purchase further plastics
to create new drums.
ProTec is suitable for various applications including
warewashing and in building cleaning environments such as canteens,
hospitals, airports, supermarkets and offices. It will be widely
available to Ecolab’s European customers in the spring of 2011.
With sales of $6 billion and more than 26,000 associates, Ecolab
Inc. (NYSE: ECL) is the global leader in cleaning, sanitizing, food
safety and infection prevention products and services. Ecolab
delivers comprehensive programs and services to foodservice, food
