PHILADELPHIA, July 17, 2018 – Tyromer Inc. has won a 2018 Sustainability Leadership Award from Business Intelligence Group (BIG). Headquartered in New Jersey, USA, BIG Awards seek to recognize companies and individuals with persistence, vision, and creativity. “We are proud to recognize Tyromer Inc. for their socially responsible and environmentally sustainable effort on waste tire recycling,” said Maria Jimenez, Chief Nominations Officer, Business Intelligence Group. “Our judges felt that their vision and strategy make a significant impact in driving the circular economy in the tire industry, and gave Tyromer the highest rating as reflected by the Sustainability Leadership Award. Congratulations!” The BIG Award for Sustainability Leadership continues the company’s upwards trajectory. Earlier this year Tyromer won an Edison Award Gold Medal, considered the “Oscars of Innovation,” in the category of Resource Re-use. Additionally, the Company was named one of the Top 50 Fastest Growing Companies by Silicon Review Magazine. Despite Tyromer’s global outlook, CEO Sam Visaisouk hasn’t forgotten its Ontario roots. “Our success thus far would not have been possible without the University of Waterloo, Ontario Centres of Excellence and Michelin Development, all of whom gave us the early support for our vision to return waste tire rubber to new tires,” he says, adding, “Sustainability happens when we care.”
