(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 16, 2010 ) Press Release Distribution Service - http://emailwire.com/press_release_distribution_lists.php
NORCROSS, GA – For the second year in a row, Unisource Worldwide, Inc. one of the leading distributors of paper, packaging and facility supplies in North America, has partnered with WhatTheyThink – the leading news and information site for the graphic communications industry – to present the Environmental Innovation Awards to be announced on Earth Day, April 22, 2010. This year, Heidelberg USA, Neenah Paper and NewPage Corporation have joined with Unisource as sponsors of the awards.
“Now in its second year, the Environmental Innovations Awards have become one of the foundations of Unisource’s respect™ Printers’ Program,” said Ed Farley, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Communications for Unisource. “The competition is designed to recognize printing companies in the graphic arts industry that are implementing state-of-the-art and innovative environmental solutions,” said Farley.
Five awards will be presented to industry leaders who have developed environmental solutions within the design, production, and delivery value chain for printed graphic communications. The categories include:
· Environmental Sustainability and Your Community recognizes a company that is involved in an environmentally progressive community program such as initiatives for charitable organizations, internal programs such as alternative transportation for staff, and other “outreach” that supports both the environment and the community.
· Environmental Sustainability and Your Plant recognizes a company that is “walking the talk” in their own plant; for example, incorporating lean/green manufacturing, unique lighting or ventilation, a white roof, etc.
· Environmental Sustainability and Your Processes recognizes a company that has implemented environmentally sensitive processes incorporating inks, papers, consumables, waste management, or recycling in new and different ways.
· Beyond Environmental Sustainability recognizes a leading-edge solution or initiative involving unique creativity; for example, a biodiesel “still” to create alternative power sources or installation of wind or solar power.
· Thought Leader (Overall Best of Class) recognizes a company that best represents the “new green graphic arts company” among all applicants. The recipient will be a truly innovative, disruptively-creative company.
The Environmental Innovation Awards are offered to any graphic communications service provider located in North America, regardless of size and printing process; in recognition that innovative ideas are not constrained by company size or process. The awards are intended to provoke, encourage and celebrate creative thinking and innovative solutions.
