With such a focus recently on Green Technologies and preventing products from unnecessarily going to the landfills, companies like the Glass Guru, (makers of ScratchPro) and those using the system are doing thier part to make a positive impact on the planet. Since the introduction of the ScratchPro kit in early 2008, thousands of windows have been successfully restored with the system. In 2009, the company was recognized for its efforts by Door and Window Manufacturer Magazine with a nomination for their annual Green Award.
