Hello, my name is Tom White. I'm the Marketing Manager for Northern Technologies International Corporation, and we're representing our brand ZERUST today. We want to highlight our program ZeCycle.

What it is is a closed loop system for VCI packaging. So any VCI that we sell to our customers' plants, we can get them in partnership with Recycle Max to set up a program to collect those used VCI packaging, bring them to a local recycling facility, convert those into PCR resins, and then generate new PCR versions of our products at 30%.

So it's a great way for our customers to become more sustainable, and then additionally recycle next and also help their facility become a zero waste. So not only VCI packaging, but they can collect their trash, cardboard packaging, all of that. This is a program that we released in March. We've had a few customers start this program, but we're hoping to grow it, and hopefully our nomination will give great visibility to this program.
