The Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC) is now accepting applications for the 2013 Illinois Governor's Sustainability Award. The award ceremony will be held this fall in Peoria, and once again ISTC will also host the Illinois Campus Sustainability Awards program.

Any Illinois public or private organization is eligible to apply for the 2013 Illinois Governor's Sustainability Award. Only one application for the 2013 Illinois Governor's Sustainability Award will be accepted per facility. Each application will be judged on its own merit and not in direct competition with other applications.

Since 1987, the ISTC has presented 2013 Illinois Governor's Sustainability Award 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).

To apply for the 2013 Illinois Governor's Sustainability Award, please go to www.istc.illinois.edu. Applications must be submitted electronically by 5 P.M. on May 31, 2013 for consideration.
