Recycling Today Magazine Awarded

Three of Recycling Today's 2001 issues receive regional awards.

Three awards have been earned by Recycling Today magazine as the publishing industry recognizes the best work of 2001. Recycling Today is published by GIE Media Inc., Cleveland.

The opening spread for the story “Fast Forward,” which appeared in the "Material Handling Equipment Guide" in the November 2001 issue of Recycling Today, has been awarded by the Central Region of the American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE). The layout received a Silver Award, which was the highest award given in that particular category.

Art director Andrea Vagas and editor Brian Taylor have been recognized for the opening layout of the story. (Although Andrea is no longer art director of Recycling Today, her work can still be seen in fellow GIE Media publications C&D Recycler and Pest Control Technology.) Caterpillar Inc., Peoria, Ill, supplied artist’s renderings used in the winning layout.

Recycling Today has also earned two awards from the Press Club of Cleveland. The July 2001 cover of Recycling Today earned a first place graphics award in its trade publication category. Recycling Today staffers Vagas and Taylor, as well as senior editor Dan Sandoval, were involved in the creation of the cover. Nucor Inc., Charlotte, N.C., supplied a photo of pouring molten steel that provided the image for the cover.

Also recognized by the Press Club was the September 2001 "Latin-American Markets Supplement." This bi-lingual supplement received first place honors in the Special Section/Package category for 2001.

Recycling Today editor Taylor says he is optimistic the publication will continue to provide award-winning coverage and content to its readers in 2002.
