Trojan Marinex have been presented with the 2016 Outstanding Private Sector Achievement award from the Reduce Risks from Invasive Species Coalition (RRISC).
The award recognises a private sector company that has produced a product or service with the potential to make significant contributions to reducing the environmental and economic risks posed by invasive species.
Trojan Marinex have made a significant contribution to reducing the transfer of species to their non-native environments through the development of their chemical-free BWTS. Furthermore, they have contributed to foundational research towards the use of low-energy treatment of ballast water using UV technologies and the protection of drinking water for environmental protection and stewardship of aquatic ecosystems around the world.
Scott Cameron, RRISC’s President, commented: “The spread of aquatic invasive species is a very real, very serious threat to our environment. The Trojan Marinex ballast water treatment system plays an important role in solving this problem and restoring balance to the marine environment. We thank them for all they are doing to protect our waterways.”
Mark Kustermans, Market Manager at Trojan Marinex, commented: “Trojan is committed to the innovation of solutions that unequivocally protect the environment, and this award further validates this commitment. We thank RRISC for the award, and also want to take this opportunity to applaud them on the great educational work they are performing on the risks posed by invasive species.”
The award was presented on June 15, 2016 at the annual RRISC Congressional Reception in Washington, DC.
