Winning Time Chip timing system gets EPA recognition

PRESS RELEASE Winning Time, a leader in chip timing systems, has been approved as a Green company by the Environmental Protection Agency’s renowned Wastewise Program. The company received the award based on their design of long-lasting, reusable timing chips as well as recycled materials.

The EPA Wastewise Program recognizes companies which help promote the green movement by cutting back on landfills and disposing of materials correctly. Winning Time’s reusable design model, incorporation of replaceable batteries, and recycling of plastics, paper, and metals have allowed for this partnership. No zip ties are needed so nothing gets thrown away after the race. “The growing trend in the endurance industry is offering eco-friendly solutions to athletes”, comments Julia Vitarello, VP of Winning Time Americas, “and equally as important is the accuracy of results. Winning Time offers an affordable solution that conquers both.”

The makers of the Winning Time systems have practiced green measures for years, and their efforts have finally been met by the EPA certification. The company’s chips last more than a decade, and are easily and quickly attached and detached from the athlete’s ankle, bib or bike. “After working hard to design durable, reusable chips which guarantee accuracy, we are thrilled to see that races and athletes around the US are increasingly interested in eco-friendly solutions”, says Vitarello. “We’ve seen that races which make the effort to meet green industry standards benefit from standing out in the crowd and attracting new sponsorship opportunities”. Among the many races which Winning Time services, the Lilac Bloomsday Run and the Boulder Marathon chose the company as one of their efforts to make their race eco-friendly, while at the same time guaranteeing the highest level of scoring possible.

Winning Time offers easy, green, and reliable timing solutions for any type of race.
