The deadline for entries to the Heidelberg ECO Printing Award
presented by Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) will be
end of February 2011. Print shops have had since October 2010 to
submit entries to the international environmental award for
sustainable printing in the sheetfed offset sector. Given the
considerable interest generated by the competition so far, it has
been decided that further entries will be accepted until the end of
February. The company has set aside a total prize fund of EUR
50,000 for the award, which is divided into two categories:
"Sustainable companies" and "Forward-looking solutions".
All entries must be submitted in written form. Entry forms
are available online at
www.heidelberg.com/eco_award.
The Heidelberg ECO Printing Award will be presented in June 2011.
The environmental award focuses in particular on the
sustainable use of resources and energy, climate protection, and
environmentally aware management practices. These aspects of
sustainability can relate to a company as a whole, or to
exceptional one-off solutions in prepress, press, postpress,
logistics, and corporate culture. Winners should set a benchmark
for the entire industry and encourage others to adopt sustainable
business practices and solutions.
Entries welcome from all sheetfed offset print shops
The Heidelberg ECO Printing Award is open to any print
shop that operates at least one sheetfed offset press. The number
of presses is unimportant, as is the volume of production, the
vertical range of manufacture, and the size of the print shop.
Print shops from anywhere in the world that use any kind of
substrate (paper, card, or foil) can submit an entry.
An independent international panel of judges, including
representatives of the printing industry, environmental scientists,
and members of environmental associations, will examine the entries
and select the winners in the two categories.
