Climate Protection
MINNEAPOLIS, April 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Verde Environmental
Technologies, Inc.'s Deterra® Drug Deactivation and Disposal
System was named a winner of a Silver Stevie® Award in the
category "Products in the Area of Sustainability & Climate
Protection" in The 22nd Annual American Business Awards®.
The American Business Awards are the U.S.A.'s premier business awards program. All
organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations –
public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small.
Deterra uses organic activated carbon and tap water to render
drugs inert, making them unretrievable for misuse and safe to throw
away in household trash without contaminating landfills or
waterways. It is the only product available that is
scientifically proven to destroy prescription and over-the-counter
medicine, right at home.
"We take pride in making our products environmentally sound
throughout the product lifecycle, from bio-based plastic packaging
to using wind-generated energy. And, according to Braskem's
calculations, every case of Deterra produced can prevent up to five
pounds of carbon dioxide from contributing to Global Warming
Potential," said Jason Sundby,
President of Verde Environmental Technologies, Inc. "We are honored
to have these consistent efforts recognized by the Stevie Awards,
alongside the other sustainability leaders and innovators in the
category."
Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word meaning "crowned,"
the awards will be presented to winners at a gala ceremony at the
Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York
on Tuesday, June 11. Tickets are now
on sale.
More than 300 professionals worldwide participated in the
judging process to select this year's Stevie Award winners. And
over 3,700 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in
virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration
in a wide range of categories.
"While growth in much of the world economy has recovered slowly
from the COVID-19 pandemic, the American economy continues to show
remarkable resilience and growth," said Stevie Awards president
Maggie Miller. "Our 2024 Stevie
winners have contributed to that successful recovery through their
innovation, persistence, and hard work."
