Product Manager Nick Dixon said: "For Octaquest to win the Green Technology Award in the Industrial Category is a great achievement and is independent testimony - of the highest calibre - of what a unique and environmentally significant product Octaquest truly is".
"Unlike typical chelants such as EDTA and phosphonates, Octaquest biodegrades harmlessly before entering any river or other water course.
This shows that essential daily products do not have to cost the earth".
"Everyone at Octel Performance Chemicals can be duly proud of the impact we have made - and are continuing to make - amongst our chemical peers.".
