BCR Environmental Corporation (BCR), a company focusing on technologies for the treatment and conversion of wastewater and organic waste, announced that President and CEO Aaron Zahn was awarded the Governor’s Business Ambassador Award by Florida Governor Rick Scott at Connect Florida’s Day at the Capital 2016 event.
Zahn has counseled the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency World Health Organization, Florida Department of Environmental Protection and state and local leaders on the economic and environmental impacts of innovation in wastewater and organic waste infrastructure.
