EcoLOK4 recognized as Sustainability Product of the Year (Physical) by the Business Intelligence Group

BRIDGEWATER, NJ, UNITED STATES, August 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — CONTROLTEK, a trusted leader in security packaging and cash handling solutions, today announced that its EcoLOK4™ deposit bag has been named Sustainability Product of the Year (Physical) in the 2026 Sustainability Awards presented by the Business Intelligence Group.

The award recognizes organizations and products delivering measurable environmental impact through innovation and accountability. CONTROLTEK was recognized for EcoLOK4™, the industry’s first third-party verified tamper-evident deposit bag manufactured with 90% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, demonstrating that sustainability and security can go hand in hand.

Designed for financial institutions, retailers, and cash logistics providers, EcoLOK4 delivers the same trusted tamper-evident performance customers rely on while helping organizations reduce their environmental footprint. By replacing virgin plastic with verified recycled content, EcoLOK4 enables customers to advance their sustainability initiatives without compromising the security, durability, or reliability required for cash handling operations.

“We are honored to receive this recognition for EcoLOK4 and our commitment to developing solutions that create meaningful environmental impact,” said Tom Meehan, CI, CEO of CONTROLTEK. “For 50 years, we’ve partnered with customers to solve complex operational challenges. Today, those challenges increasingly include sustainability. EcoLOK4 is a reflection of our commitment to helping organizations reduce environmental impact while delivering the trusted security and performance they’ve always expected from CONTROLTEK.”

“Sustainability used to mean a pledge. Now it means a number,” said Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer, Business Intelligence Group. “CONTROLTEK stood out because its work reflects where the field is headed: measurable outcomes, not aspirational statements. This recognition highlights an organization that is not just talking about sustainability, but proving it with results.”

EcoLOK4 is independently verified by GreenCircle Certified to contain 90% post-consumer recycled content, giving customers confidence that their sustainability efforts are supported by credible, third-party validation. As organizations continue to prioritize ESG initiatives, EcoLOK4 provides a practical way to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the high-performance security expected from CONTROLTEK’s tamper-evident packaging solutions.

This award reflects CONTROLTEK’s ongoing commitment to advancing sustainable innovation and delivering solutions that help customers protect assets, strengthen chain of custody, and achieve their environmental goals.
