Not going to lie – we always have a great time celebrating Hallowe’en here at Eco Waste. And this year we even had a baby in a costume!
Our theme was ‘Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Tales’. Not entirely sure there’s an emoji fairy tale yet, but who cares – we had a lot of fun. Because we’re that kind of crowd.
Earlier this month, we attended the 2017 AUSA Annual Meeting & Expo in Washington, DC. It’s always a great opportunity to learn about some of the most cutting edge equipment and technology from around the world.
This year, we were especially pleased to be sharing expo space with Brazonics/Rockwell Collins, which specializes in the manufacture of aluminum brazed assemblies including enclosures, chassis, coldplates and heat exchangers for defense, aerospace and commercial industrial markets, and with EthosGen, which turns waste heat into electrical power and cooling capacity. Our businesses aren’t the same, but we’re all trying to achieve the same thing, which is to transform what’s usually called ‘waste’ into useful energy.
It was good to reconnect with some familiar faces at the conference, as well as to meet some new colleagues – we look forward to seeing you again next year!
