PIA/GATF, SGIA, and FTA Form Sustainable Printing Partnership

The SGP Partnership is comprised of volunteer print leaders and other key players from each of the three associations. The project is being led by Gary Jones, director of environmental health and safety affairs for PIA/GATF. “Mr. Jones is known as an expert in his field and works extensively with various government agencies on environmental health and safety issues,” says Michael Makin, president and CEO of PIA/GATF. Jones believes PIA/GATF needs to play a prominent role in the “green” movement of the printing industry. “We are on the cusp of a fundamental change in the way printers will be doing business in the foreseeable future. This initiative will give printers the tools they need to respond to the market and demonstrate their continued commitment to protecting the environment through sustainability,” Jones explains.
