TEHRAN (NIPNA) -- The Energy Globe Foundation (EGF) has awarded Iran's Zagros Petrochemical Plant for launching an environmentally-friendly wastewater treatment facility.

After been assessed by the Project GreenWorld International, the company was announced eligible to receive the Green Project Certificate by the EGF in a ceremony that was held in Tehran last week.

The International Energy Globe Awards (the World Awards for Sustainability or Nature's Nobel Prize) have been awarded by the Energy Globe Foundation annually to recognize projects that 'make careful and economical use of resources and employ alternative energy sources.' The winners, in the categories of Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Youth, are selected by a panel including members from the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, World Bank and the European Renewable Energy Council.

In 2016, the category Sustainable Plastics was added to the over five categories. The awards were an initiative by Austrian engineer and environmentalist Wolfgang Neumann. The herculean status of the Award often equates it to Nobel Prize.

It distinguishes projects regionally, nationally and globally every year since 2000.

The goal of the Energy Globe Award is to create the necessary awareness concerning solutions to our environmental problems and to demonstrate that each of us can make a positive contribution. The winning ENERGY GLOBE projects serve as examples, which are presented on the Energy Globe website and in the Energy Globe project database. The monetary prize for first place in the international award is 10,000 euro which is distributed among the six categories.
