Earth Day News from EcoLogo Companies

ecologo-logo.jpg On the day we celebrate the Earth, it only seems appropriate to recognize a few companies doing their part to keep our planet healthy. Below are the latest green activities from companies participating in the EcoLogo program. Diamant, Cascades and Hewlett Packard have all made long-term commitments to environmentalism. Here is what they’re doing on one particular day of the year. Happy Earth Day, everyone.

Diamant: Diamant Corporation makes recyclable plastic food wrap that contains no plasticizer and no chlorine. The company’s been busy making a lot of news of late, and today has an announcement out stating it has completed initial trials for new bio-degrading plastic bottles. That’s right, bio-degradable plastic bottles. If you’ve had a hard time giving up the plastic water bottle habit, take heart. There may be an eco-friendly solution in the near future.

Today the company announced that its Rockland line of colored paper will contain up to 100% recycled fiber. Pretty colors and eco-friendly - comes in green and many other shades.

Hewlett Packard: HP has a long, long history of environmentalism, not only creating products, but also acting as a resource and inspiration for many green initiatives. In honor of Earth Day, HP published this month a guide to energy efficiency in the workplace. Did you know duplex printing can reduce paper consumption by 25%? The full guide is available on the HP website.
