EcoQuest appoints Tulloch as chair

Personal care products company EcoQuest has appointed scientist and businesswoman, Sylvia Tulloch as company chairman.

In a statement the company said Ms Tulloch is widely regarded as one of Australia's most respected scientists in the fields of sustainability and clean technology.

She is the founding managing director of Dyesol Limited.

Perth-based EcoQuest is currently on the verge of a worldwide launch of its environmentally friendly "Little Takas" disposable nappy range that is more than 90 per cent biodegradable.

Last month EcoQuest appointed Steve Moncur as Managing Director.

"We are delighted that Ms Tulloch has agreed to assume the role of Chairman on a permanent basis," Mr Moncur said.

"I am both pleased and excited about being asked to be Chairman of a company focussed on the development and sale of biodegradable products," said Ms Tulloch.
