Here's How To Close Down The Sterigenics Willowbrook Facility.....

Go after their Customers that contract with this facility for Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilization. Get their customers to stop using Sterigenics.

These customers would have to find another EO sterilization company to sterilize their products. They would have to have that alternative company to validate the EO sterilizstion process for their respective product and that would take some time and money - but it would allow them to drop Sterigenics.

My guess is that the majority of the companies that now are customers
of Sterigenics are 'medical device companies'. If Sterigenics breaks the law on EPA emissions - they probably cut corners in other places. If their 'sterilization reports' are bogus any company using their data could be liable if one of their customers is harmed.

If my company was using Sterigenics to sterilize my products I would be very concerned and I would be looking for an alternative to Sterigenics. If fact I would probably have an alternative sterization company already validated.

Again - cut off the customers that currently use this Willowbrook facility - you cut off their revenue stream - eventually forcing them out of business.

Go after Sterigenics where it hurts.
