2008 ADAA’s eco-friendly approach
The 2008 ADAA is applying principles of environmental sustainability in its marketing plans. The Call For Entries posters and flyers will be printed on Mohawk Color Copy 100% recycled stock from Mohawk Fine Papers that is manufactured using wind power. Faculty will request posters on-line and they will be printed on-demand in small quantities by Xerox Graphic Arts Premier Partners on the Xerox® iGen3® Digital Production Press in locations near the requestors decreasing waste and fuel consumption for international shipping.
