		TLMI Ecovillage TLMI’s Ecovillage will showcase the latest products and services designed to support a better performing, more environmentally conscious label industry. With the help of TLMI, Convergen Energy, and Channeled Resources Group, Labelexpo Americas will be collecting the waste matrix from the live press demonstrations over the course of the exhibition. The matrix waste will be collected every few hours and will be brought to the Ecovillage to showcase the amount of waste that could be used as fuel instead of being disposed of in landfills. After the show, all waste will be baled and picked up by Convergen Energy to be made into fuel pellets. Convergen Energy’s pellets are a substitute for coal but with a lower carbon and overall emissions’ footprint than fossil fuels. Channeled Resources Group will also be providing baling demonstrations each day in the feature area. Read More
