“It is an incredible honor for the HydroRight dual flush converter to win this award,” Schuster said in a statement released by his company,  in Shorewood. Schuster is the president of MJSI.

Schuster also captured second place in a Home Depot contest for most innovative product.

“We believe that dual flush retrofits offer green builders  a way to see significant water savings, gain LEED points and save the expense of buying new toilets without throwing thousands of tons of non-biodegradable porcelain into our country’s overflowing landfills," Schuster said. "We are thrilled that the judges see the value of the HydroRight as a water-saving alternative to low-flow toilets for green building renovation projects.”
