展会报告(Show Reports):

Labelexpo Americas has partnered once again with Convergen Energy, TLMI (Tag and Label Manufacturers Institute) and Rosemont Exposition Services on a label waste sustainability program.

The program is aimed at saving any printed materials, that would otherwise be going to landfill, at Labelexpo Americas 2024. The show takes place from 10 – 12 September at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, in Rosemont, Illinois.

We spoke with Ted Hansen, CEO at Convergen Energy, about the label waste program, and how exhibitors at the show can get involved in this initiative to help drive a more sustainable future.

Hello Ted, it’s great to be once again partnered with Convergen Energy, TLMI and Rosemont Exposition Services on the label waste sustainability program. Can you tell us a bit more about Convergen Energy?

Convergen Energy has been providing sustainable alternatives to landfilling for non-recyclable industrial by-products for the past 15 years.  Over this timeframe we have diverted more than 700,000 tons of non-recyclable materials away from landfill.  We utilize these materials to produce a renewable fuel that is used in solid fuel boilers to displace fossil fuels.  For every ton of renewable fuel we produce, at least one ton of fossil fuel is eliminated. 

Can you talk us through the label waste sustainability program and what the industry benefits will be?

Our goal is to work with the label industry to provide cost-effective means to send non-recyclable by-products to our facility.  We try to use a come-as-you-are approach and accept materials in loose, bale, roll, and almost any other form the customer has.  We have worked with TrueNorth Collective to complete a full Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) to calculate the environmental benefits and greenhouse gas emission reductions that result from sending non-recyclable materials to Convergen.

Industries throughout the U.S. and the wider world are increasingly under greater pressure to demonstrate sustainable business practices. Our solution helps these companies avoid landfilling and can be used to meet their customer’s sustainability requirements and demands.
