💐 Tribute to Rich Cartwright💐

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the sudden passing of Rich Cartwright—a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and a true legend in the environmental and hazardous materials management community.

For the past twelve years, Rich served as a host for EnviroWorkshops events & EnviroClass webinars, bringing not only his brilliance in chemistry, environmental compliance, and EHS solutions to every session—but also his humor, and boundless energy.

Rich wasn’t just an expert—he was a storyteller. I’ll never forget the trip we took together to Niagara Falls with his wife, Phyllis, where we received a first-class “Rich Cartwright” science and history lesson on the Love Canal Disaster. His passion for the environment, his gift for teaching, and his heart for people were truly unmatched.

One of the last things Rich told me was that he wanted to "pass the torch" to the next generation—to continue the great work of protecting our planet for future generations. That’s the legacy he leaves behind.

Over his incredible career, Rich served as:

• Global Goodwill Ambassador for the Alliance of Hazardous Materials Professionals
• AHMP National President and Pete Cook Founders Award recipient
• Recognized Fellow of IHMM, AHMP, and APICS
• Mentor to thousands of CHMM students over the past 40 years
• Leader in dozens of LinkedIn communities and environmental networks
• And most of all, a champion for the next generation of environmental professionals

Rich’s personality was as big as his resume—gregarious, fun, deeply generous, and always ready with a story, a joke, or a wise word. His absence will be felt deeply across the entire industry.

Let’s Honor His Memory:
