HomeSEGD Green Paper
The SEGD Green Paper is the result of a collaborative effort by the Society for Environmental Graphic Design (SEGD), Nova Polymers, Designers and fabricators. This committee began as a group of individuals working on their own in areas such as leadership in other green organizations, development of green products, and development of green design practices in their own firms. This group pooled their unique talents to create the educational program outlined in this document.
During our journey, it became clear that developing a "green guide" to environmental graphic design would be a huge challenge. How should we address other green organizations such as the U.S. Green Building Council? What about materials, methods, and innovations that have not been tested effectively? How do we educate designers and fabricators without offering prescriptive solutions?
Ultimately, we decided to address these challenges by creating The co-authored SEGD/Nova Polymers Green Paper, designed to provide a strategic framework, resources, and inspiration for promoting sustainability in EGD. The SEGD Green Paper is the counterpart to SEGD’s earlier publication, The ADA White Paper, and represents alignment with our core beliefs stated in our commitment to Environmental Responsibility.
