BLUEBOX, an early phase Clean Tech company that aims to dramatically change industrial maintenance by enabling companies to save money by substantially reducing their use of water, energy, toxic chemicals, and CO2 emissions, today announced that Jean-Michel Cousteau, world-renowned environmentalist, ocean adventurer, and film producer, has joined the BLUEBOX team as its lead advisor and representative on environmental issues.
Mr. Cousteau will advise the company on how to most effectively deploy its patent-pending BLUEBOX foam system for industrial clients. BLUEBOX is a compact, portable system that uses foam to clean a vast variety of industrial equipment. The system is designed to dramatically improve the efficiency and environmental footprint for businesses by delivering a new way to maintain their industrial equipment that minimizes downtime and reduces the use of water and toxic chemicals. BLUEBOX also helps companies reduce their energy consumption and CO2 emissions by running their equipment much cleaner, enabling companies to clean equipment more effectively and economically.
"BLUEBOX offers a truly new paradigm for industrial operations," according to Jean-Michel Cousteau. "By delivering a practical, real, and sustainable solution that solves real problems, BLUEBOX provides a model for companies to reduce their costs while they are reducing their environmental footprint. BLUEBOX is not the only solution, but it is now one of the most economical, practical and immediate tools we have to clean up industry for a sustainable future for all of us. Cleaner industry saves money, water, and energy, and will lead directly to a cleaner and better planet and ocean."
