Billerica, MA (PRWEB) August 28, 2013 -- GXT Green has been recognized as the winner of the "Business of the Year" award by the Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce. The Mass Chamber of Commerce selects the Business of the Year Recipient from nominees that put forth the effort to make Massachusetts a better place to do business through their work and their actions. GXT Green was selected due to its leadership in creating and leveraging strategies, services, and products that help the corporate community meet their economic and social sustainability needs.
GXT Green's charter is encapsulated in their tagline "Economics meeting Ecology". They help clients achieve this goal through a focused set of products and services that includes:
• ECOgrade™ photodegradable bag, which replace plastic grocery bags with a product that solves the plastic pollution problem with a non-toxic alternative at no additional cost.
• ECOgrade resin, the underlying ingredient for ECOgrade bags, which is a low-cost alternative to plastic, with significantly reduced environmental impact.
• ECO-R3SP™ suspension packaging which replaces Styrofoam and polystyrene packaging with a reusable and more sustainable alternative.
• Sustainability consulting services to help companies address their energy use and carbon footprint with economically viable sustainable services, along with marketing programs to leverage their successes.
• Management and marketing of verified Carbon Offsets, most notably those based on REDD+ forestry projects.
This award comes on the heels of GXT Green's recognition last month as the Silver award winner in both the Product of the Year and Most Innovative Product of the Year categories in Best in Biz Awards 2013 International.
Manas Chatterjee, CEO of GXT Green commented "We have won several awards around the world based on the innovation and success of our products over the past few years. However, it is especially gratifying to be recognized by the Mass Chamber of Commerce here at home for our business practices and the benefits we bring to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts."
