The Activeion technology, named by Forbes.com as one of the ten best "disruptive technologies that could change the world," is a versatile, on-demand cleaning and sanitizing tool that converts tap water into ionized water, a powerful dirt-removing and bacteria-killing agent that enables professionals to clean without chemicals.

In 2009, the Healthy Schools Campaign (www.healthyschoolscampaign.org) held a nationwide search for new and innovative products and services that would help create healthier school environments for students, staff and faculty. The search focused on two key areas: the environmental impact of a school, and the way that a school supports healthy eating and physical activity for students. Selected companies were then invited to share unique inventions and innovations supporting HSC's mission of making all schools healthier places to learn and work, through a focus on wellness or environmental health.

"Activeion is thrilled to be chosen as an innovator by the Healthy Schools Campaign, and we're proud to be part of this nationwide effort to create healthier school environments," says Todd Schaeffer, vice-president and general manager, Activeion Cleaning Solutions.  "This is another confirmation that cleaning with the ionator EXP is a great choice for people, animals and the environment. One day we'll wonder why we ever used chemicals to clean."

Products spotlighted in the Innovation Showcase were selected by a judging panel, with representatives from the Healthy Schools Campaign, American School & University magazine, and the Association of School Business Officials International. The judges selected products based on the creativity of the innovation and the potential positive impact.
