MIAMI - s4story -- CEO Coaching International, the leading firm coaching over 300 of the world's top growth-focused entrepreneurs, congratulates its client Monique Maissan, Founder and CEO of Waste2Wear, for being recognized by the European Union Chamber of Commerce with the Sustainable Business Award under the category of Outstanding Environmental and Climate Performance. Maissan and her company earned this prestigious award in recognition of their newly developed and totally traceable woven and non-woven products made from recycled polypropylene.

Commented Maissan, "We want the world to know that we are taking real steps towards reducing the plastic problem by innovating circular alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint, energy consumption and water usage, and improves livelihoods in the process."

Waste2Wear uses polypropylene from discarded appliances such as fridges, car dashboards, food containers, and washing machines, and in the past decade the company has recycled hundreds of millions of plastic bottles into products ranging from floor underlays, curtains, workwear, bags, and high-end fashion products.  Waste products are the company's raw material, making them the ultimate model of sustainability. Besides averting plastic from ending up in landfills and in our oceans, the environmental impact of these recycled products also reduces the carbon footprint by 75%, the use of energy by 70%, and water consumption by 86%.
