Impact Enterprises, Inc. Contracts to Manufacture Eco-Friendly Menu Covers for Leading International Entertainment Company

Solid wood menu cover for House of Blues.

There is a balance between Business decisions and Socially Conscious decisions. The environment must remain healthy, and so should your business.

Warwick, NY (PRWEB) August 10, 2010

Impact Enterprises has been chosen by Live Nation Entertainment to produce new eco-friendly menu covers for their 12 owned and operated House of Blues clubs in North America. This environmentally responsible decision makes Live Nation Entertainment a role model for corporate programs designed around 'Green' accessory products.

Impact Enterprises, Inc. is using Blue Pine to manufacture these menu covers. Blue Pine is the 'Greenest of Green' solid woods (Impact Blue Pine). In addition to its eco-friendly qualities, Blue Pine has a varying but distinctive color pattern in its grain that makes it unique among all solid woods. This unique color pattern complements the artistic style Live Nation uses to create the House of Blues brand assets. The engraved artwork features custom laser engraving that honors three blues legends and is paired with the iconic House of Blues logo.

Solid wood menu covers showcase the fact that this material remains the most eco-friendly for durable products. Solid wood accessory items in particular have been slow to be tested by major hospitality companies. The 'Green' focus remains in energy and water conservation, which is understandable in light of the publicity both receive. The decision by Live Nation to use solid wood for one of its accessory items is a significant step towards reinforcing the importance of controlling landfill growth and contamination. It is an environmentally responsible decision that will help to increase the awareness in corporate offices around the world that a 'green' initiative includes a mindset towards making a meaningful effort to minimize landfill growth and contamination

Impact Enterprises, Inc., a member of "Green" Hotels Association has been furthering its 'Green' initiative for the past several years. Customers are supporting these efforts and are pleased with the support the menu cover manufacturer has provided, finding these eco-friendly products to be functional, durable, and unique in design and nature. Impact makes available solid woods, recycled metals, reusable components, and non-solvent coated materials. Eco-friendly products from the company are used by Primland, GAIA, Xanterra, all eco-friendly resorts, and now by Live Nation Entertainment.

"Business Decisions and Socially Conscious Decisions…"
An excerpt from Impact's Newsletter, April 2009 - Ralph W. Salisbury

"Conservation is a frame of mind. It begins by developing a mindset to make a meaningful effort to minimize waste and contamination. "A meaningful effort" is the key phrase. It implies that green purchasing and disposal decisions may not be 100% green at this time. Product and product components required for our manufacturing operations may not currently be available in green. Many manufacturers are working to resolve this situation; however, it currently remains a fact that required product components are not always available as green components. Your mindset to make a meaningful effort will encourage you to proceed with purchasing decisions that maximize a green commitment in the face of this dilemma. Your commitment to green is not lessened by the necessity of using required components not currently available in green. There is a balance between Business decisions and Socially Conscious decisions. The environment must remain healthy, and so should your business."
