WeedEnder Introduced to International Transportation Professionals at the 2011 ICOET Conference
Last month, U-TECK's WeedEnder® Vegetation Control System personnel joined over 500 transportation and ecology professionals from 21 countries at the 2011 International Conference on Ecology & Transportation (ICOET), in Seattle, WA . Held every two years since 2001, “ICOET is the primary forum for an international gathering of the foremost experts in the field of transportation development, related scientific study, and administrative processes that can enhance both the project development process and the ecological sustainability of transportation systems.” according to ICOET's website.
ICOET's website goes on to state that its mission is to “identify and share quality research applications and best management practices that address wildlife, habitat and ecosystem issues related to the delivery of surface transportation systems.” Because U-TECK's WeedEnder offers such an impactful environmental solution, the show seemed a great fit. Introducing WeedEnder to international professionals proved added incentive to attend. When speaking to U-TECK's VP of Sales, Russ Mason, about the show, he stated, “WeedEnder recently received product approval from the Washington State Department of Transportation, who was a major sponsor of the show. We wanted to not only offer our support by attending, but also to take this opportunity to educate other transportation leaders about WeedEnder and the environmental benefits it provides.” He continued, “We were encouraged by the reception our product received, and we hope that the attendees took our message home to their own corners of the world. There ARE safe alternatives when it comes to vegetation control.” U-TECK is a woman-owned business that has been offering WeedEnder for over 15 years to major telecommunications, municipalities, and departments of transportation. Because every mile of 3' wide WeedEnder takes approximately 50,000 plastic drink bottles out of the landfill, it offers an environmentally safe and effective alternative to herbicide spraying and weed-trimming.
