Mohawk Supports Corporate Sustainability Trend |

COHOES, NY – Many leading corporations today are working to create sustainable solutions in both businesses and marketing practices. These companies are developing environmentally sensitive designs and adopting sustainable practices to save energy, eliminate waste and recycle. These changes are increasingly demanded by both consumers and shareholders. Mohawk Paper Mills has a long history of environmental commitment and continues to find new ways to reduce its impact on the biosphere. For instance, Mohawk is the first U.S. paper mill to utilize wind power in the manufacture of its grades. And recently, Mohawk has joined with the Forest Stewardship Council in a pilot program that provides FSC certification to Mohawk Color Copy 100% Recycled. “Creating higher standards for our own conduct requires passion, ingenuity, skill and investment,” says Tom O'Connor, Jr., Mohawk's President and C.E.O. “We are always looking for new ways to protect, preserve and conserve our shared resources.” Mohawk's innovations in the area of environmental management have allowed the company to reduce waste and energy consumption, while providing high-quality, high postconsumer content papers, such as Mohawk Color Copy 100% Recycled. By using this 96 bright premium color copy paper, which is FSC certified and made with wind power, Mohawk's customers have the opportunity to protect natural resources, sustain local economies and demonstrate awareness of environmental issues. A recent example is HDR Inc., a long-time leader in the green building industry. The firm has helped to grow the sustainable design movement. The primary mission of this architectural/engineering firm is to provide its clients with sustainable, high-performance buildings…buildings that cost less to operate, are healthier for occupants, and are less damaging to the environment. When it comes to designing and printing corporate literature, such as proposals and newsletters, HDR demands that materials and supplies specified be consistent with HDR's “green” corporate values. Until recently, HDR was unable to find a recycled paper that successfully performed on the company's color copiers. With the recent launch of Mohawk Color Copy 100% Recycled, HDR found a solution. Earlier this month, HDR switched its text paper business to Mohawk Color Copy 100% Recycled at each of is 90 offices nationwide. The message of sourcing materials that support its corporate values is now made visible on HDR's marketing materials. Though this is not a new idea, HDR had not been able to use a recycled paper without compromising the quality of its marketing materials.
