CHESTNUT RIDGE, N.Y.,
Sept. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- BioHiTech Global, Inc. ("BioHiTech" or the "Company")
(NASDAQ: BHTG), a sustainable technology and services company,
announced today that the Company and the Hazleton Area School District will introduce
and demonstrate the district's new Altapure AP-4™ high-level
disinfectant system at the Hazle Township Early Learning Center on
September 29, 2020 at 1 p.m. The event will be attended by Pennsylvania
State Senator John Yudichak
(I-Luzerne/Carbon) as well as
other local officials and press. BioHiTech intends to subsequently
share video content of the event on its website and through social
media.
The Hazleton Area School
District in Pennsylvania is the
first public school district in the country to incorporate the
Altapure AP-4 as a part of its protocols to help protect its
schools from the spread of COVID-19 and potential infections from
other viruses and bacteria. The Altapure AP-4 achieves
hospital-grade disinfection of classrooms, bathrooms and other
common areas, including everything within the area such as toys,
chromebooks, computers, rugs, carpeting, and sports equipment. The
system can be utilized throughout the district as a preventative
measure, and it will completely disinfect areas exposed to a virus
in order to prevent further spread.
"The implementation of the Altapure AP-4 at the Hazleton Area School District demonstrates our
commitment to creating the safest possible environment for students
and staff throughout the district," said Linda DeCosmo, President, Board of School
Directors for the Hazleton Area
School District. "Achieving periodic hospital grade disinfection in
addition to regular sanitation will help us in our efforts to
reopen schools as safely as possible. The Altapure AP-4 will also
be instrumental in helping to prevent the potential spread of
viruses or infections should they occur at any of our
schools."
"We commend the Hazelton Area
School District for their leadership in the area of health and
safety," said Frank E. Celli, CEO of
BioHiTech. "Their selection of the Altapure AP-4 along with this
public demonstration sends a clear message to parents and staff
members that the Hazleton Area
School District will devote substantial resources to utilize the
best available technology for the benefit of the community it
services. We look forward to working with Hazleton as well as other like-minded school
districts throughout the country that are dedicated to achieving
the highest possible standards of disinfection for their respective
communities."
"As more school districts resume in-person learning and
implement Covid-19 mitigation plans, families need to know our
schools are doing everything possible to protect students,
teachers, and staff," said Senator John
Yudichak. "The Hazleton
Area School District, in deploying BioHiTech's
innovative Altapure AP-4 disinfectant system, is setting
a new standard of excellence for COVID-19 safety in Pennsylvania schools."
The Altapure AP-4™ is an enhanced, automated and touchless
high-level disinfection sub-micron aerosol system launched in 2017
that provides a safe process and rapid elimination of spores,
viruses, and vegetative bacteria, such as, but not limited to:
COVID-19, Acinetobacter baumanii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, VRE,
MRSA, Bacillus atrophaeus, Geobacillus stearothermophilus, Polio
virus, C. auris and Clostridium difficile (C. difficile). Extensive
research and development alongside Harris Corporation,
formerly ITT Exelis, a top-tier global aerospace, defense, and
information solutions company, resulted in the creation of a very
unique and patented aerosol generation technology that when coupled
with the liquid agent Altacare®, a reagent grade
peracetic acid solution, yields rapid and unparalleled results for
high level disinfection. Altapure is committed to providing its
customers with the highest quality products and processes in the
marketplace that are safe to use and are environmentally friendly.
All of Altapure's products are engineered, manufactured, and
assembled in the U.S.
