Livestock Water Recycling Nominated For Prestigious Ernest C. Manning Innovation Award

Livestock Water Recycling, Inc. (LWR), an agricultural company that recycles clean water and concentrates valuable fertilizer nutrients from livestock manure, has been nominated for the esteemed Ernest C. Manning Innovation Award for demonstrating recent innovative talent in developing and successfully marketing a new technology, creating jobs, and contributing to Canada’s reputation as a forerunner in ingenuity.

LWR's CEO Ross Thurston, credits LWR’s extensive water treatment experience and its patented manure treatment technology with the company's ability to achieve early success in the Agriculture Industry. Thurston said,“Our technology has generated so much interest and enthusiasm because it is an environmental solution that also creates a return for our customers. Our approach concentrates valuable nutrients from manure that can be reused or sold. Recycling nutrients and clean water back to the crops that feed the animals that produce the manure completes the environmental circle. Farmers are the original environmentalists so it’s easy for them to see that this technology is a cost-effective solution that will save them time and money.”

Award recipients will be announced prior to the 33rd Annual Ernest C. Manning Innovation Awards Gala in Ottawa in the fall.
