We are proud to announce that Environmental Products and Services Ltd (EPAS Ltd) wins the Best Innovative Business Award at the Greater Newry Business Awards 2025, held at the Canal Court Hotel & Spa on Friday 19th September.
This prestigious recognition, organised by Newry Chamber of Commerce & Trade, celebrates the most dynamic and forward-thinking companies across the Greater Newry Area. To be selected as the leading business in innovation is a true honour and a testament to the continued dedication, creativity, and vision of our entire team.
Innovation is a core value that drives every aspect of our work at EPAS Ltd. From product design and R&D to environmental sustainability and digital transformation, we are committed to developing innovative solutions that provide operational, environmental and cost saving benefits to our customers in drainage protection and waste management.
Our award-winning innovations include:
-
GreaseShield – The Grease Management Solution, which recovers fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from commercial kitchen wastewater using waste thermal energy without chemicals or energy-intensive heating. The recovered FOG can then be repurposed into biodiesel, reducing carbon emissions by up to 87%.
-
The EPAS Programmable Logic Controller (EPLC), enabling real-time remote monitoring, diagnostics, and performance optimisation, improving maintenance response and reducing environmental risk.
-
A R&D strategy, with 6% of annual turnover reinvested, ensuring we remain at the forefront of innovation, cost-efficiency, and export-led growth.
Winning Best Innovative Business is a recognition of the collective efforts of our entire team. From engineering and design to sustainability and customer service, our people are the driving force behind our success. We are grateful for their dedication and passion, which continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in our industry.
This award also reflects our broader mission to lead with purpose and creating measurable environmental benefits, supporting our clients in their sustainability journeys, and aligning with global directives such as EU Directive 75/442/EC on waste prevention and clean technology.
Having already achieved PAS 2060 Carbon Neutrality certification 25 years ahead of EU targets and progressing towards ISO 14068:2022, we continue to demonstrate that innovation and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.
We are deeply honoured by this recognition and inspired to keep pushing forward. As we continue to expand globally and invest in next-generation technologies, we remain committed to delivering innovative solutions that make a meaningful difference for our customers, our communities, and our planet.
To our team, our customers, our partners, and the Greater Newry Chamber thank you for your continued support. A special thank you to Norbrook Laboratories ltd for sponsoring the award.
