The Governor’s Environmental Excellence Awards honor Virginians who have made remarkable contributions to environmental sustainability and preservation. The Virginia Outdoors Plan is being implemented, environmental projects, government greening, land conservation, and sustainability are the five areas in which awards are presented. Businesses, industrial facilities, not-for-profit groups, and governmental organizations are represented in the pool from which winners are selected.
Grenova received recognition for its ground-breaking efforts in creating environmentally friendly methods of reducing laboratory waste with the gold award in the sustainability category. By using the company’s goods and services, laboratories can cut their plastic waste production by up to 90% and avoid spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on waste disposal.
Grenova’s goal is to lessen the environmental impact of laboratory waste and eliminate single-use plastics from labs. Leading pharmaceutical businesses and research institutions have adopted the company’s creative solutions, which have been praised by trade magazines and organizations for their positive effects on environmental sustainability and lab productivity.
