Produced by Canada’s premier business and current affairs media brands, the STARTUP LIST ranks Canadian businesses on two-year revenue growth. Growth List winners are profiled in a special print issue of Canadian Business published with Maclean’s magazine and online at CanadianBusiness.com and GrowthList.ca. We are so excited to share this news! Today, Canadian Business magazine named Tru Earth the second fastest growing startup in Canada! None of this would have been possible without you! Thanks for being a "Change-Maker" https://www.canadianbusiness.com/growth-list-canadas-fastest-growing-companies/ Tweet this Tru Earth dominated the consumer-packaged goods start-up market with a two-year revenue growth of 8408%, from $0 to a current run rate of over $30 Million based entirely on its zero-waste, environmentally friendly laundry strip that completely eliminates the need for heavy plastic detergent jugs. Tru Earth CEO, Brad Liski says the ranking is an exciting validation of the company’s mission. “As a consumer-packaged goods company, launching a zero waste, compact, disruptive product into an established laundry detergent market was intimidating but we knew there was a gap there,” he said. “We are at war with plastic. Our eco-strips come in compostable carboard envelopes and completely dissolve in the laundry process. People want a better way to do laundry that doesn’t involve planet-killing waste, excessive transportation emissions and bulky inconvenience. We have been able to fill that void with a product that addresses those issues head on. This is also just the beginning of a collection of products that will dominate the kitchen, bathroom and laundry rooms in change-makers' homes across the globe.” With a current customer base of 175,000 returning subscribers and purchasers, Tru Earth has grown every month since its inception and so far, customers have purchased enough laundry strips to keep nearly 2-million plastic jugs out of landfills. The Tru Earth team considers those customers to be environmental “change-makers” and the real heroes of the story. The company is also committed to giving back and to date has donated well over 2-million loads of laundry to vulnerable families in Canada, the United States and as a part of an international shipment to Ghana. Company co-founders, Brad Liski, Ryan McKenzie and Kevin Hinton have each played important, defined roles in Tru Earth’s success. With Liski as CEO, McKenzie oversees customer development and marketing while Hinton has built and manages the IT platform that is core to the company’s customer interactions. According to Canadian Business, that entrepreneurism and leadership defines this year’s honorees. “The companies on the 2020 Growth List are really exceptional. Their stories are a masterclass in how to survive when the economy throws a curveball. Despite turbulence, the 2020 Growth List companies showed resilience, spirit and, most importantly, empathy and strong leadership,” says Susan Grimbly, Growth List Editor. “As we celebrate over 30 years of the Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies program, it’s encouraging to see that the heart of Canada’s entrepreneurial community beats strong, even in tough times.” COME AND JOIN THE Our customers are the heroes.
