Ecolink Collaborates to Promote Hazardous Source Reduction Globally

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 serving the need for less, safer and compliant chemicals, we enlisted the help of other like-minded organizations and individuals.

Tuesday, February 14, 2012 – Valentine’s Day officially kicked off the beginning of our next chapter. We have worked closely with American Marketing Association (AMA-Atlanta) in support of GA DECA a high school marketing program with more than 10,000 students participating. Last Friday, we successfully recruited three AMA collegiate members for new product launch internships that run through April 22nd – Earth Day.

I am pleased to introduce our 3 very talented interns – Chance Hood, Courtney Rivkind and Jackie Hooper. Each intern will promote two brand new distributed products through our alliance partners: Randolph Products, Nugentec and Hubbard Hall respectively. We will emphasize social media as the primary way of accelerating exposure and engagement of these new strategic relationships and their unique products mutually selected. Each intern has 8 digital profiles and 2 merchandise promotions to design, implement and integrate. The intern who accumulates a combined score of most page views, on-page social sharing and return-on-investment (leads generated, quotes, samples, sales) will earn an extra $1,000 + donate $100 to their favorite charity.

 Chance Hood is a 2nd year MBA student at Mercer University (Atlanta) expecting to graduate in May 2012. A 26 years old originally from Alabama, Chance graduated with a BBA in Marketing from The University of Montevallo in 2008. Chance has worked in restaurant/hospitality industry and as a licensed outside sales insurance agent before enrolling in Enterprise Rent a Car’s management trainee program where he worked for the largest stand-alone branch in region.  While in his MBA program at Mercer University, Chance has maintained a 4.0 GPA and completed a sales strategy internship with Silverpop.  Chance is tasked with promoting Ecolink’s entree into the world of mil-spec paints and coatings and working closely with the business development team at Randolph Products. How can Randolph Products reduce hazardous waste? By specializing as the largest produce of the smallest batches of paints, coatings and primers an by offering super low (4 gallon) minimum quantities for legacy mil-spec paints & coatings that typically require 20 gallon minimum order with a high % of unopened paint getting buried in landfills. (I’ve witnessed more than my share during 13 years of auditing facilities).
