Ecolink Collaborates to Promote Hazardous Source Reduction Globally

Last updated:

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.


Meet the Interns

Chance Hood is a 2nd-year MBA student at Mercer University (Atlanta), graduating May 2012. Originally from Alabama, Chance earned his BBA in Marketing from the University of Montevallo in 2008. With a background in hospitality and insurance sales, he later joined Enterprise Rent-A-Car’s management trainee program. At Mercer, he’s maintained a 4.0 GPA and completed a sales strategy internship with Silverpop.

Chance is promoting Ecolink’s entry into mil-spec paints and coatings with support from
Randolph Products.
How can Randolph Products reduce hazardous waste? By offering the smallest batches (as low as 4 gallons) of legacy mil-spec paints and coatings, preventing large quantities from ending up as waste in landfills.

How can Hubbard Hall reduce hazardous waste? With over 160 years of regulatory and chemical expertise, they solve complex problems and develop new low-impact chemical solutions.
