Hazardous Waste Minimization
October 2011 marked the 20th anniversary of Ecolink’s sustainable operations. The company was founded in response to the
Montreal Protocol and the ban of Class 1 Ozone Depleting Solvents and other toxic industrial chemicals.
As we embark on our next 20 years of providing safer, compliant chemicals, we’ve partnered with like-minded organizations and individuals.
Tuesday, February 14, 2012 – Valentine’s Day marked the beginning of our next chapter. We’ve worked closely with the
American Marketing Association (AMA-Atlanta) to support
GA DECA, a high school marketing program with over 10,000 students.
Last Friday, we recruited three AMA collegiate members for new product launch internships running through April 22 – Earth Day.
