CLOVER CELEBRATES EARTH DAY WITH ECOLOGO(TM) CERTIFICATION FOR 530 OF ITS PRINTER CARTRIDGES

NORTHBROOK, IL, April 21 /PRNewswire/ - Leading up to Earth Day, EcoLogo, one of North America's most recognizable eco-labels, is proud to announce the certification of hundreds of Clover Technologies Group printer cartridges.

"The EcoLogo Program would like to congratulate Clover Holdings for demonstrating environmental leadership by becoming the first company to have more than 500 of its printer cartridges certified under the EcoLogo standard," says Dr. Angela Griffiths, Executive Director of the EcoLogo Program.

"Earning the right to put the EcoLogo seal on our packaging is something we are very proud of at Clover," adds Jim Cerkleski, CEO of Clover Holdings, "At Clover, we take our environmental commitment very seriously, but at a time when just about every manufacturer makes claims of being green, that commitment can be difficult to communicate effectively outside the company. The recognition that comes with the EcoLogo seal allows us to do just that."

The EcoLogo standard for printing cartridges was developed using a multi-parameter approach that identifies the most important environmental indicators from all stages of the product's life cycle. Products that meet the standard's criteria have less impact on the environment by reducing waste entering the landfill and conserving resources. The standard also includes performance criteria to ensure that certified products perform as well as others on the market.

The EcoLogo Program is designed to support continuing efforts to improve environmental quality by reducing energy consumption and by minimizing the impacts of pollution generated by the production, use and disposal of goods and services. In a skeptical marketplace, EcoLogo builds the trust needed by providing scientific credibility and proof of environmental leadership.
