Agromin earns Sen. Pavley’s Environmental Sustainability Award

Oct. 1, 2010 - PRLog -- OXNARD, CALIF.--Agromin has been honored by State Sen. Fran Pavley (D-Santa Monica) as October’s winner of the 23rd Senate District’s Environmental Sustainability Award.
Pavley presented Agromin Chief Executive Officer Bill Camarillo with a Certification of Recognition on Sept. 23 in Oxnard.

Agromin, a business partner of Harrison Industries, was recognized for the cutting-edge technology it uses to convert green waste materials like grass clippings, tree branches and leaves into organic mulches, compost, wood chips and other products that naturally fertilize plants and trees. The Oxnard-based company, formed in 1992, now recycles over 370,000 tons of green waste from more than 50 communities on an annual basis.

“By saving space in landfills, reducing green house gasses and creating a green waste recycling loop, you have set an example for all to follow,” the certificate reads.
Agromin has developed and manufactured more than 200 premium soil products, now sold at 41 retail locations in Ventura County and throughout Southern California. These products help reduce the use of non-organic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides – making our air and water cleaner.

“A company that makes money and does good things for the environment – that’s what I like,” Pavley said.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by Senator Pavley, because she is a steward of the environment,” Camarillo said.
