Itronics Inc. (OTCBB: ITRO) (FRANKFURT: ITG) (BERLIN: ITG) is
pleased to announce that it has been named Green Company of the
Year by the Nevada's Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology
(NCET). Itronics Metallurgical, Inc. will be honored at ceremonies
on October 21 at Reno's Peppermill Hotel hosted by NCET and
sponsored by the Nevada Commission on Economic Development, the
Northern Nevada Business Weekly and the Economic Development
Authority of Western Nevada.
In announcing the award, NCET noted: "Headquartered in Reno,
Itronics Metallurgical is the only company with a fully permitted
'Beneficial Use Photochemical, Silver, and Water Recycling' plant
in the United States that converts used photoliquids into pure
silver and GOLD'n GRO liquid fertilizers."
"Selecting this year's winners was a very difficult process,"
said Dave Archer, NCET's CEO. "We received nominations for so many
great people and companies, and we faced a tremendous challenge in
narrowing it down to just a few winners. We selected Itronics in
recognition of their technology/work to completely convert
hazardous waste into environmentally friendly commercial goods
using advanced chemical technologies."
"We are pleased by this recognition and look forward to continue
to produce products that are environmentally beneficial," said Dr.
John Whitney, President and Founder of Itronics. Previously,
Itronics has won numerous environmental achievement awards
including from the Institution of Chemical Engineers in London,
England, the worldwide Green Apple Awards contest, and was named an
International Green Hero for its leadership on environmental
issues.
