Tuscarawas County Winners
  Viola Miller Individual Winner
     
  Dover East Elementary TAG Group Winner
 

 

  Allied Machine & Engineering Corp Business Winner
 

Allied Machine & Engineering Corporation (AMEC) has been a long time business in Tuscarawas County.  Since 1941 AMEC has been making sharp, tough and precise drilling tools.   Because of their fiscal responsibility and continuous improvements they have become the world’s leading manufacturer in their field.  Recycling is an outgrowth of fiscal responsibility.  At least 15 years ago, AMEC started recycling aluminum soda cans.  Since then they have also been recycling fluorescent lights bulbs, batteries, cardboard, and most recently paper. 

Over the years AMEC’s recycling efforts have extended the life of landfills, created a good public image, reduced air, water, and land pollution, and obtained revenue from the sale of recycled materials.  AMEC not only recycles and has been recycling for a long time, they also recycle as a team.  The whole organization is behind the effort and supports it willingly and wholeheartedly. 
Wayne County Winners
  Fran Fuller Individual Winner
 
  Fredericksburg Ruritan Club Group Winner
 
  Genesis Concepts Unlimited LLC Business Winner
 

With an extensive background working in the plastics industry, President Daniel Welsh has taken his dream and made it a reality in starting Genesis Concepts Unlimited. His dream has taken root in Wayne County, Ohio as an innovative and creative producer of recycled products using old tires. Looking to re-purpose some 5 million tires that are discarded annually in northeast Ohio, Welsh has plenty of raw material to make into new products. The tires are split, separating the steel beading and mesh for recycling. The rubber is made into slivers, crumbs, and granules which can be used in making running tracks, playground surfaces, mulch, horse arena footing and tire-derived fuel.  Tire derived fuels can burn cleaner and hotter than coal at less of a cost. 
“We took a problem (discarded tires) and made it into a treasure”.   “We have accomplished everything we set out to do in 3 years”.  “By recycling and re-purposing tires” Welsh says, “The tire problem could be eliminated”.
