This is iHeartMedia's CEOs you should know sponsored by Comcast Business Powering Possibilities. Hi.
I'm Tim Maxwell. I'm with green Earth Cleaning based out of Kansas City.
I'm the president of the company and have been with green Earth by since
two thousand. Traditional dry cleaning chemicals are all petrollium based. Green Earth is
a liquid silicone, so really unique chemistry that not only from an operational standpoint
provides a better product, but also environmentally, the base product, our greener
silicone can only degrade to sand, water and CO two as it degrades naturally
in the environment. I would say the dry cleaning industry in general has moved
forty to fifty percent away from per chlor ethylene. We're a very interesting company
from the standpoint of the original makeup of the company were three dry cleaners who
were approached by an inventor with technology that was outside the industry, and then
Procter and Gamble and General Electric or founding members of the company as well.
So the uniqueness of having the entrepreneur also combined with manufacturing process and research and
development that allowed for what would be seen as a big jump forward. I
knew there was no hope down the road, all the chemistry that was available
was going to be problematic, and because of my relationship with one of the
founders of Green Earth back in twenty twelve, that was kind of validated by
the Ministry Environment of Canada actually issuing an edict around the specific silicone that we
use as being environmentally non toxic and that never really has had a claim in
the dry cleaning space. CEOs You Should Know is powered by iHeartMedia, America's
