SmartWay
The SmartWay Transport PartnershipSM was introduced in 2004 by the U.S. EPA as an innovative,
market-based partnership to reduce fuel use, greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants from the
freight sector. Today, more than 1,000 businesses and organizations have joined. Together these
companies are conserving almost 600 million gallons of diesel fuel per year, saving at least
$2.5 billion in annual fuel and maintenance costs and eliminating an estimated 6.8 million tons
of carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming.
At Quad/Graphics (the first printer to join SmartWay and a four-time recipient of the SmartWay
Environmental Excellence Award), the partnership has led to efficiencies that have prevented
the emissions of 11,479 tons of carbon dioxide in 2008 over a fleet with no modifications - the equivalent of
taking 1,907 passenger cars off the road for a year. Additionally, Quad realized a significant
prevention of particulate matter and nitrous oxides emissions.
