Ecolabs, @Ecolab is a company with a heritage of working with the embedded technology of the Global Food Services industry to innovate solutions, which contribute to our planet’s ecological sustainability. Ecolab is a champion of, among many other environmental sustainability initiatives in the Food Service Industry; but they are by far the champions of Water Conservation in all aspects of Food Services.
Ecolab has a myopic focus on enabling foodservice clients, in over 170 nations, with the very best in innovative cleaning and maintenance solutions which positively impact their clients’ bottom lines, workers, and most importantly their customers. This is a tough job, considering a pillar of Ecolab’s’ business is the utilization of chemicals. At Ecolab eliminating and minimizing the negative impact of chemicals in the workplace is a top priority.
If you visit the Ecolab’s website, www.Ecolab.com, you will see the second drop down tab after products and Services, is Sustainability; with nine selections in the list from Chairman’s Message to two selections for my sustainability sweet spot Water Risk Management and Water Stewardship. We all could benefit from taking the lead of Ecolab’s when it comes to sustainability best practices.
I mentioned Food Service throughout this article because of the focus of it is Ecolab’s leadership involvement in the International Restaurant Show; and the Foodservice industry, which most often touches all of our lives. However, Ecolab is heavily involved in providing Cleaning and Maintenance solutions for industries as far and wide as Energy Exploration and Productions, Mining and Mineral Processing, as well as Healthcare and Life Sciences; to name a few.
In the 2017 International Restaurant Show Ecolab demonstrated several sustainability innovations and solutions, from minimizing the liquid volume of hand sanitizing cleaners to further curtailing the possibility of the harmful effects, to humans, of its pest control products, to achieve the desired effect.
At this year’s 2018 International Restaurant Show, Ecolab will be exhibiting and demonstrating, among its main products and services SMARTPOWER™, an industrial dishwashing solutions which, “By combining powerful insights, innovative chemistry and personal service, SMARTPOWER™ brings your restaurant operation a new level of safety, simplicity and sustainability. I look forward to the demonstration and will include insights in my post National Restaurant Show, reporting.
