Tempe, Ariz.-based Phoenix Kiosk Inc. has announced an alliance with supply partner Epilog Laser for a green initiative. From now on, the companies will coordinate efforts to recycle all the packaging Epilog uses to ship industrial lasers for Pheonix kiosks. Epilog will simply reuse the packing materials for future shipments.
Alan Work, president and CEO of Phoenix Kiosk, says the initiative will have a long-term ecological impact and will help the company reduce costs for its customers:
 | At the end of 2008, we made the commitment as a company to find ways to 'green out.' The simple idea of reusing the packaging for this key component of one of our kiosk projects will reduce the amount of landfill waste that our operations would have created by nearly 450 cubic feet per week. Since this is a multiyear project, the reduction is enormous, and we've been able to make this economically viable as well, reducing the overall acquisition cost of the component for our customer. |  |
