Agion Technologies receives Gold environmental certification

Last year, Agion Technologies, a Wakefield, Mass., leader in silver-based antimicrobial technology, received a Silver Cradle-to-Cradle certification, which recognizes achievement in environmental design, processes and standards throughout the lifecycle of a company’s product. This year, Agion went for the Gold certification and received it. The certifications signal that companies adopt renewable energy, use energy efficiently, conserve water, use environmentally safe materials, recycle or compost waste and more. The Agion antimicrobial technology is based on natural germ-killing properties of silver and is built into products for customers such as DuPont, Adidas, The North Face, Columbia, Motorola and Dell.
