Massachusetts-based Recycline makers of the popular Preserve brand of personal care and household products won the Forbes.com Boost Your Business competition. The win earned Recycline the $100,000 prize from Forbes.com and Hewlett-Packard.
Recycline Founder and President Eric Hudson accepted the award during a reception at The Forbes Galleries in New York City last week.
“This was a fantastic experience, and we greatly enjoyed getting to know the four other finalists. We’re grateful for the award and the support that our stakeholders and the Forbes.com community showed," said Hudson.
"We plan to use this award to forward our mission to satisfy people’s everyday needs with high-quality, stylish, and environmentally responsible products with our Preserve brand line of personal care products, tableware, and kitchenware. Recycline’s win is a testament to the growing tide of interest in products and services that respect and preserve the earth’s precious resources," he said.
Recycline Inc. persevered over nearly 1,000 other small businesses to win the contest, which was judged by Forbes editors, readers and business experts. Recycline was among the nearly 1,000 entrepreneurs from across the country that entered the contest when it launched in March 2007. In the first phase of the contest, co-sponsored by HP, small business owners submitted 500-word business plans; 20 semi-finalists survived. In round two, Forbes.com users had the opportunity to review these plans and vote for their top five.
