HANGERS
CLEANERS, PLOVER, WI, AWARDED MVP2 AWARD IN WASHINGTON,
DC.
Eagan,
MN – Hangers
Cleaners in Plover, WI, has been recognized as one
of this year’s Most Valuable Pollution Prevention
award winners by the National Pollution Prevention
Roundtable.
The MVP2
is awarded to companies that demonstrate source reduction
activities. Applicants are judged on innovation, measurable
results, transferability, commitment and optimization
of available project resources. Applicants fill out
an application where they must describe the project,
technological aspects, data on the project’s
pollution prevention, how the application can be used
in other locations, how the project affected them
internally and what resources were available and used.
Tom Judge,
owner of Hangers Cleaners in Plover, WI, said “CO2
is naturally all around us and is benign to the environment.
Our system is a safe alternative because it takes
toxic chemicals out of the process and keeps them
out of clothes where they can irritate skin. Using
CO2 even allows us to safely
recycle the dirt we remove from clothes.”
Dan Schiller,
COO of Cool Clean Technologies, Inc., said “Hangers
Cleaners was designed, and is focused on exceeding
expectation for environmental pollution prevention.
This award is consistent with our ideals and beliefs,
and we are proud to have received such an honor. We
look forward to our future environmental innovations,
and the continued growth of this great environmental
cleaning process.”

is the largest membership organization in the country
devoted solely to promoting pollution prevention and
cleaner production. A total of eight winners, including
Saturn Corporation, Audubon International and Condit
Elementary School from Houston, TX, received the MVP2
award during a ceremony on Capitol Hill in Washington
D.C. on September 18th.
