John Mueller Receives EPA Award

WESTFIELD, Ind. - John Mueller, President of Fumigation Service & Supply, Inc. is a recipient of the 2006 Stratospheric Ozone Award for his contribution to protecting the environment by eliminating uses of methyl bromide in flour mills and food plant structures. The award was presented to Mueller at a ceremony at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC on May 17, 2006.

Mueller is a pioneer in the field of methyl bromide replacement, and his leadership, belief in alternatives, and commitment to making this a better planet on which to live has shown in his daily work as a fumigator and as an industry leader.

Mueller and his fumigation crew have replaced over 300,000 pounds of methyl bromide in over 200 field applications to demonstrate the potential and practical applications of methyl bromide alternatives. These applications were performed while having to carry the burden of distracters and ‘naysayers’ in the background. Methyl bromide is listed under the Montreal Protocol as a controlled substance in 185 countries throughout the world

“This award is the result of the many hard working, environmentally oriented, and dedicated employees of Fumigation Service & Supply, Inc.,” Mueller said.
