Sustainable innovative solution
Submissions in this category primarily focused on saving energy and conserving resources. Melbourne-based print shop Vega Press impressed the panel of judges with its unique approach. It has coated the roofs of the print shop building with a special reflective surface that stops virtually any of the sun’s UV rays getting through. Together with highly efficient building insulation, this can reduce the cost of the air conditioning to an absolute minimum. The resultant lower electricity consumption plays a key role in preventing harmful greenhouse gases.
