Triad Growth Partners’ Charlie Gause to Attend Global Action Summit

By Taylor Pipes
When it comes to industrial waste, rarely do we think how it impacts our food supply.

As global industrial waste continues to rise to staggering levels, especially in emerging economies, there remains a striking disconnect in understanding its direct relationship to food production, transportation, and ultimately what we eat.

Sustainable solutions for food, health, and prosperity will be the topic du jour at the fifth annual Global Action Summit, November 14-15, 2016 in Nashville.

Charles Gause, President and co-founder of Triad Growth Partners will be a panelist at the convention, featuring more than 400 leaders representing a broad swath of international delegations, corporations, governments, foundations, NGOs, and universities. Together, they seek to discuss innovations and solutions relating to food, health, and prosperity.

Gause will be participating in the panel, “Food Security: No More Food to Waste.”

“Global industrial waste is at 11 billion tons annually and increasing exponentially, especially in developing regions,” Gause explains. “We need novel and sustainable waste management solutions that can recover habitats faster and remediate land and water for agriculture, population and development reuse.”

Gause will share examples of work Triad Growth Partners (TGP) is doing in collaboration with multiple universities, federal laboratories, and corporations to develop and commercialize innovative waste remediation solutions. These solutions aim to decrease cost and increase efficacy, restoring waste sites to usable conditions in a sustainable manner.

In addition, TPG’s solutions support global sustainability, including food security, by replenishing our depleting water and land sources.  TGP's new RemRx treatment technologies provide a low-cost, safe to handle / transport, slow-release biodegradable solutions that remediate contaminated soil and water. Advanced technologies and the use of biodegradable agents bring together a proprietary innovation to address the needs of global development leaders looking for sustainable solutions.
