AWARDS GOING GREEN

It's a real problem to find environmentally friendly awards. I've been looking for a long time. At any Awards supplier trade show, no displays for environmental awards can be found. I've had to go outside the traditional suppliers to find eco friendly awards. To the left you see Eucalyptus growing. We call eucalyptus - lyptus, it's easier to say. This is one of the fastest growing trees in the world. It is grown on plantations in South America. It is a beautiful wood that is a great replacement to walnut - the traditional wood used in awards. It is a beautiful dense heavy light colored wood with a slight reddish tint to it. Most of the Eucalyptus wood brought into the United States is used for hardwood floors. If you sniff the wood, you will smell a gentle scet. This is from oils that give a shinny finish to the wood... If you are presenting Environmental Awards, they should be Environmentally Friendly!
