A Way of Problem Solving

EcoShield Technology is not merely the gadgets and widgets which we build and sell, but rather a way of thinking that addresses problems and devises solutions from a different viewpoint. Instead of fixing one problem at a time, an entire industrial process is reviewed. This not only avoids the situation of each fix leading to another problem (until an inefficient mess is created), but also avoids "running from one corner of the room to the other", where each fix stays barely ahead of regulation and does not address the underlying problems. Solving problems the EcoShield way considers all the ramifications of a process and simultaneously designs for industrial efficiency and internalization of environmental effects.

A Way of Working

Historically, environmental solutions were custom engineered on a one at a time basis. This was in part due to the method of regulation, which looked at each individual point source of pollution. Today, regulations are moving toward class based regulation – looking at whole industry sectors for common elements that can be regulated. EcoShield Technology takes our whole process design philosophy and applies it to class based pollution prevention opportunities.

A Way of Value Creation

By creating class based pollution prevention appliances, the beneficial effect of individual engineers can be multiplied, creating value for the company, while at the same time putting valuable new technology in the hands of a broader class of industries through the beneficial economics of mass production.

A Way of Thinking

"If you want to teach a man a new way of thinking, don’t tell him how to think, but give him a tool, the use of which leads to new ways of thinking." This paraphrased quote from Buckminster Fuller is the essence of the EcoShield design paradigm – to provide machines (or tools) that through their use foster more efficient sustainability based process thinking, rather than a model based on consumption. Companies can now buy machines that save them money and improve quality, and just happen to help save the planet, too.
