LONDON, February 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Marks & Spencer (M&S) has announced the finalists of the Big Innovation Pitch at Ecobuild; an initiative designed to identify and work with unrecognised innovations across the sustainable design, construction and energy sectors.

The finalists are as follows:

• Newlife Paints Ltd - Waste Paint Recycling
• Ritec International - Clearshield Eco-System
• Cosaf Environments Ltd - Gatorduct
• Endo Enterprises - Endotherm

These five companies will pitch for a final time on the second day of Ecobuild 2015 in front of a panel of experts, including senior representation from M&S, plus the entire South Arena audience. The successful company will work with M&S to investigate applying the winning product or service into the retailer's buildings.

Munish Datta, Head of Plan A and Facilities Management at M&S, said: "We were extremely impressed with the quality of the pitches presented to us and found it challenging to narrow so many interesting products to a final five. We are very much looking forward to the culmination of the Big Innovation Pitch."
