2014 Award Ceremony & Symposium
Since 1987, the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC) has
presented Governor's awards to organizations in Illinois that have
demonstrated a commitment to environmental excellence through
outstanding and innovative sustainability practices. Sustainable
technology encompasses any technique or technology that reduces the
amount of and/or toxicity of pollutants that would have otherwise been
released into the environment. Sustainability includes processes such as
raw material and solvent substitution, preventive maintenance programs,
beneficial reuse of by-products, waste reduction and recycling, and
implementation of programs that support pollution prevention (e.g. ISO
14001).
The award ceremony and technical symposium will be held on October
23, 2014, at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, Crystal Ballroom, 151 East Wacker
Drive, Chicago.
