The three Rs - reduce, reuse, recycle
April 1st 2010 Lotus Professional will unveil
its new environmental initiative
Green by Design at
Interclean.The initiative builds
on the company's current
environmental credentials to
ensure companywide
adherence and innovation in
product design and
manufacture.
"Sustainability has three
dimensions environmental,
social and economic.The Green
By Design initiative addresses
the environmental dimension
with the aim
to strike the
right
balance
within the
three," says
Pierre
Pelekhine, EMEA sustainability
director for Georgia-Pacific.
The key principles will focus
on the ability to Reduce, Reuse
and Recycle. Reducing paper
consumption is at the core of
the environmental
commitment, with product
design focusing on
encouraging people to
minimise waste by making it
easy to take only the amount of
paper required.Over the years,
Lotus Professional has
launched several dispensing
systems which can reduce
paper consumption, thanks to
single sheet dispensing or
adjustable time delay features.
The company is committed
to finding new ways to reuse
the by-products of the paper
making process. In all
manufacturing sites more than
90% of the water used in the
company's paper-making and
pulping processes is
continuously reused.And last
year 80% of the paper used in
Lotus Professional products
was made from More articles from Georgia-Pacific GB Limited: |
