Our founder, Calvin Frost, has long advocated for doing the right thing regarding the environment. In the late 1980’s CRG became the world leader in developing alternatives to landfills and incineration for non-recyclables within the pressure sensitive laminates and siliconized release liner spaces.
In 2018, the TLMI Sustainable Leadership Awards were officially named the TLMI Calvin Frost Environmental Leadership Awards, an eponymous tribute to one of the packaging industry’s most respected environmental and sustainability thought leaders. These awards are presented to companies in the packaging industry, recognizing all levels of sustainability efforts. They were nicknamed “The Frosties” and are now a highly regarded industry accolade.
