The winners of the 2018 Eco-Logic Awards were announced in Pretoria recently in a star studded affair that saw finalists, together with company CEO’s, celebrities and thought-leaders step out in their most ‘glamourously green’ outfits to observe the good work South Africans are doing to preserve the planet.
This year 65 finalists across 13 categories competed for the prestigious Eco-Logic award. Some of the innovative entries included much-needed water saving solutions, the use of upcycled waste for fashion products, solar energy projects and conservation programmes to combat wildlife crime.
“The Eco-Logic Awards promotes the best of South Africa’s Eco-Champions, and we salute all entries, even those who were not selected as finalists or winners, because every entry counts in the fight for sustainability. We all have to play our part, big or small, so we can make a difference,” says David Parry-Davies, publisher of Enviropaedia and founder of the awards.
