Water Saving Product Innovation Award
Australia invites the world to compete for the 2009 water saving
product of the year at the savewater! awards®
Entries are now open!
The savewater!® Alliance is inviting water saving product engineers from all over the world to enter the 2009 savewater! awards® in the International Product Innovations Category.
Now in their seventh year, the savewater! awards® has emerged as the leading water sustainability awards in Australia and savewater!® is pleased to announce for the first time the Product Innovations Category is open to anyone in the world.
savewater!® is pleased to be partnering ‘Waterwise UK’ and also New Zealand water corporations in inviting entrants into the popular awards program.
The Product Innovations award rewards the development and commercialisation of innovative products that minimise water consumption – it is designed to recognise products that are leading the way in water efficiency.
“Many new products are coming onto the market every year and these make a major contribution to water savings”. We know there are a lot of undiscovered leading water
efficiency products out there and we want to provide a platform for them to be recognised said Mr Nigel Finney, CEO of the savewater!® Alliance.
‘Waterwise is proud to support Australia’s savewater! awards®. It is excellent that the
savewater!® Alliance has opened its doors to international products. There are many great water saving products in the UK and some have already received the Waterwise Marque – our endorsement programme for water efficient products. Despite what many people may think saving water in the UK is just as important as saving water in Australia.
The UK is perceived as being very wet, however we have less water per person available then most of our northern European neighbours and we actually receive less rainfall on an annual basis than Sydney.’
Says Chris Philpot, Communications Manager, Waterwise.
Entries for the 2009 program are now open and will close on Monday 1st June AEST. So if you have an innovative water saving product we want to hear from you! Entering is easy by visiting the savewater! website: www.savewater.com.au
The winner will receive flights and accommodation to Sydney to attend the savewater!
awards® gala dinner in October 2009 – Be recognised!
