2006 "AMR!" Awards
|
For the second year, ICSC and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have recognized outstanding efforts by the
shopping center industry to conserve resources, recycle materials and purchase recycled content products.
The "America’s Marketplace Recycles!" awards program is designed to increase public awareness of the benefits of recycling. Shopping centers generate a variety of materials that are prime candidates for recycling, including corrugated cardboard, mixed paper, glass, plastic, metals, food waste, landscape trimmings and shipping pallets. The winners were announced by ICSC President & CEO Michael Kercheval. ICSC Chairman John Bucksbaum, SCSM, presented the awards at the ICSC Centerbuild Conference in late November. "This awards program continues to provide both the EPA and ICSC the opportunity not only to highlight those shopping centers and retailers who are leading the way in regards to recycling, but has given us another avenue to get the word out about the importance of recycling and supporting green initiatives," Mr. Kercheval said.
