Dordan Manufacturing Receives Sustainability and Innovation in Business Award from Northern Illinois Renewable Energy Summit
Rockford, IL, October 10th— Dordan Manufacturing has been selected by Northern Illinois Renewable Energy Summit to receive the Sustainability and Innovation in Business award. Dordan will receive the award at the Renewable Energy Summit and Expo in Rockford, IL, on October 10th at 11:30 AM at the Radisson Hotel & Conference Center.
This “Leadership by Example” award is meant to highlight area individuals, businesses, organizations, and Municipalities that have implemented sustainability practices in transportation, construction, manufacturing, waste-to-energy and recycling.
Since 2009, Dordan Manufacturing has developed sustainability tools and services to help our clients achieve more sustainable packaging solutions. These include: LCA-based comparative packaging assessments via COMPASS; bio-based/biodegradable/compostable R&D via Dordan’s Bio Resin Show N Tell; and, a 4-step Design for Sustainability Process.
In addition to its customer-centric sustainability services, Dordan has been an active player in working to incorporate thermoformed containers into the Nation’s curbside recycling infrastructure. As a result, plastic thermoforms are now recyclable in the majority of American communities. These recycling efforts were featured in Green Manufacturer Magazine's 2011 cover story, “Thermoformer Chases Chasing Arrows for Clamshell Packaging.”
Dordan’s Sustainability Coordinator was surprised at being awarded the “Leadership by Example” award from the NI Renewable Energy Summit, exclaiming, “But we didn’t even apply!” To which she was told that Dordan was nominated by municipal representatives and players in business and manufacturing in Illinois who have been following the company’s sustainability efforts.
