Sloan Valve Co., the Franklin Park, Illinois (USA)-based manufacturer of plumbing systems, has been awarded the Green Power Leadership Award by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Sloan was honored by the EPA for its “Green Power Purchase,” the company said, noting that it offsets 100% of the energy used in its Franklin Park facility with renewable energy. The EPA presented Sloan with the Green Power Purchaser Award as part of a national competition that recognizes the leading market-based deployments of renewable energy technologies. The Green Power awards ceremony was conducted during the recent National Green Power Marketing Conference in Philadelphia (21-24 October 2007).
