The toner cartridge remanufacturer has been put forward in the Circular Economy category of the Vision in Business for the Environment of Scotland (VIBES) awards.
Tinto Laser, which was acquired by ECS in March 2014, will be up against waste handler Viridor, which has been shortlisted for its £25 million ($38 million/€34 million) Scottish Glass Recycling Facility, which can recycle 200,000 tonnes of glass per annum.
Companies from across the country entered the 16th edition of the annual environmental award scheme, which recognises the commitment and achievements of those working to reduce their impact on the environment. Candidates from a range of sectors and business sizes have entered this year.
27 businesses in total have been shortlisted across eight categories, with the winners being announced in November at a ceremony in Edinburgh.
Gillian Bruce, chairwoman of the VIBES Awards, said: “The VIBES Awards are dedicated to recognising companies which have taken significant steps to reduce their impact on the environment and we’re thrilled to report that we have received a record number of entries this year.
“Each of the shortlisted companies has impressed the judges with their sustainable practices and commitment to the environment and we look forward to celebrating with each of them at the 16th VIBES Awards ceremony.”
