PRESS RELEASE

COHOES, NY—Denver Frankian Advertising Communications and OSRAM SYLVANIA have been recognized for their sustatainability initiatives by Mohawk Fine Papers. Dever Frankian’s recent work for client OSRAM SYLVANIA has earned each of the companies the Mohawk Windpower Partnership Award for their contribution to helping reduce the carbon footprint of the world. Dever Frankian recently chose a special make of Mohawk 50/10 manufactured with wind-generated electricity for use in the production of OSRAM SYLVANIA’s new product brochure, "A Guide to Sustainable Lighting Solutions."

Environmental Savings Achieved by Denver Franklin and OSRAM SYLVANIA
20,480 pounds—15% PCW Mohawk 50/10 - manufactured with wind-generated electricity.
Savings derived from using post-consumer recycled fiber in lieu of virgin fiber:
25.68 trees not cut down
2,376 lbs. atmospheric emissions eliminated
1,207 lbs. solid waste not generated
10,908 gallons water/wastewater flow saved
18,189,150 BTUs energy not consumed

Savings derived from choosing a paper from Mohawk's Windpower Portfolio:
9,407 lbs. air emissions (CO2, SO2 and NOX) not generated
The fossil fuel equivalent for this amount of wind energy:
4 barrels crude oil or 3 tons coal (anthracite)
This amount of wind energy is equivalent to:
