Clear Path Recycling Receives Two GE Ecomagination Awards
GE Water and Process Technologies recently awarded Clear Path Recycling with its Ecomagination Leadership and Return on Environment (ROE) awards to recognize the plastic bottle recycling operation for its reductions in chemical usage and cost. The GE Ecomagination Leadership award recognizes the achievements of industrial users for balancing environmental, industrial, and sustainability challenges, and is given to the top GE customers in environmental and economic performance. The ROE award honors a significant environmental (water, energy, resource) accomplishment.
Clear Path–a joint venture between Shaw Industries and DAK Americas–recycles approximately 3 billion plastic bottles annually. Converting post-consumer PET packaging into polyester fiber for Shaw’s carpet products saves approximately 1.5 trillion British thermal units of energy annually.
