The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP), Loveland, Ohio, USA, reports that DuPont Packaging Graphics, Wilmington, Del., and Mohawk Fine Papers, Cohoes, N.Y., recently upgraded their SGP level from silver to gold. SGP notes that "the continued support of these industry-leading companies demonstrates both their commitment to sustainability in the graphic communication industry and their belief in SGP's role in facilitating this endeavor."

Patron sponsorships, SGP explains, keep certification fees low for printers, enabling the printers to focus on measuring and improving their environmental performance. "We are excited to see these leading companies continue their sustainability journey with the SGP Partnership. Each of these businesses understands the importance of sustainability in today's marketplace and has chosen to support the SGP Partnership' leadership role of setting sustainability benchmarks for the graphic communications industry. With the synergies of like-minded organizations working together, sustainability certification is growing to become an adopted standard in the graphic communication industry," Marcia Kinter, SGP Board of Directors chair, said.

DuPont Packaging Graphics is a global supplier of flexographic printing systems in digital and conventional formats. Mohawk Fine Papers, a third-generation, family-owned business and certified Women-Owned Business Enterprise, produces premium papers for sheetfed, web, and digital presses.
