Sustainable Green Printing Partnership Celebrates First Anniversary
The Sustainable Green Printing (SGP) Partnership is celebrating its first successful year with nine certified printers and more than 50 SGP applicants in the program.
“We have had an exciting first year, and see many more opportunities for growth and improvement in the years to come,” said Karen Gross, executive director of SGP.
In addition to successfully launching the streamlined online application process in August 2008, an 18-member board of directors was identified and seated. The first official board meeting was held in March 2009.
SGP also has grown its Patron program. Patrons involved in the program include HP, Durst, Dupont, BCM Inks, Environmental Inks & Coatings, Explorer Pressroom Solutions, Flint Group, INX International Ink Co., MacDermid, Mohawk Fine Papers, Pace Industries, Reliable Paper Recycling and Xcel Products. The support of these companies allows the SGP Partnership to keep fees low for printers to participate in the program.
