Lawson Products Inc. and Green Boom Join Forces for a Sustainable Future

Industrial Distributor Adds World’s First Zero-Waste Solution for Oil Spills to Product Catalog

In a move toward a more sustainable future, Lawson Products Inc. (NASDAQ:LAWS), a seasoned player in the industrial distribution sector, has partnered with Green Boom, a cutting-edge company supplying the world’s first zero-waste solution for oil spills. The collaboration aims to revolutionize the spill-cleanup industry by introducing environmentally friendly absorbents to replace toxic plastic-based alternatives in the market today and through remediation fully go from oil to soil. The companies’ collective passion for sustainability emphasizes the significance of offering customers eco-friendly alternatives in their product lineup.

Today, the oil-spill industry dumps 8,000 tons of oil-soaked plastics into landfills each year, the equivalent of 54,000,000 million plastic straws. To eliminate this waste, Green Boom created the first EPA and USDA-certified compostable oil-only absorbent worldwide. The patent-protected product absorbs the spilled oil and then is fully composted in weeks, completely eradicating the need for toxic landfills or products made from single-use plastics.

"We are thrilled to partner with Lawson to support our efforts to disrupt the oil spill industry. Lawson's decades of experience and maturity coupled with our innovation presents an incredible opportunity to educate the market on the first eco-friendly alternative,” said Nicholle Wersland, president and global COO of Green Boom. “With more than 1,000 oil spills in the U.S. each year, it’s critical for remediation companies to switch to a sustainable, effective, and affordable option to preserve our communities and keep toxic waste from our food and water supplies.”

Lawson is a recognized distributor for its high-quality products and solutions. The partnership's unique and innovative nature brings a fresh perspective to a market that has long been stagnant.

“We’re continuously seeking new transformative products for our customers. Green Boom offers a unique solution to a significant problem in our industry,” shared Dan Ritchie, Sr. Manager, Category Strategy - Automotive & Safety at Lawson. “Sustainability is a key concern for many customers, making the Green Boom solution an invaluable addition to our product offerings. We are bringing something useful to them that solves a cost issue, from a disposal standpoint, but also is a more thoughtful choice.”

Looking toward the future, the collective hope is for a more sustainable and responsible world. Lawson and Green Boom’s partnership aims to significantly achieve this goal by offering eco-friendly and circular solutions to industry challenges. It is a testament to the potential of bridging experience and innovation to bring about positive change.
