The EEEI project is supported by the following European organizations in the Print and Media Industry:

  • Intergraf represents 25 national printing federations in 22 countries in Europe. Intergraf's main task is to promote and protect the interests of the printing and related industries, working with the European Institutions, and to enhance the sector's competitiveness through lobbying, informing and networking. www.intergraf.eu
  • EGIN is an established forum of co-operation in the areas of education, training and research among the social partners of the graphical/media labour market in ten countries: Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Iceland, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.www.egin.nl

The following five IEE-projects have similarities with the EEEI project, either they deal with the same target group or the objectives are similar:

  • The Optipolygen project deals with polygeneration in the food and drink industry. It shows possibilities to save energy in the food and drink sector by operating polygeneration plants. www.optipolygen.org

  • The BESS project aims to further develop and promote the widespread application of benchmarking and energy management in order to improve energy efficiency in industrial SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), with particular focus on the food and drink industry. www.bess-project.info

  • The EMS-Textile project aims to the promotion of energy management practices to the textile industry. Due to the common objective of energy management BESS and EMS-Textile co-operated for the development of some tools. www.ems-textile.net

  • Within "E-Check in Craft SME" - a standardized, easy-to-use energy audit which is specifically tailored to small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) active in the craft sector, has been developed www.energy-check.org

  • The project AMETHYST aims at developing a benchmarking and self-assessment tool for small and mid-scale wine manufacturers. This tool gives wineries insight in the relative energy efficiency of the winery, and the potential to reduce energy costs. www.Amethyst-project.eu

The following projects are dealing with energy efficiency and environmental or energy management:

  • The Motor Challenge Programme is a European Commission voluntary programme (launched in February 2003) through which industrial companies are aided in improving the energy efficiency of their Motor Driven Systems re.jrc.ec.europa.eu/energyefficiency/motorchallenge/index.htm

  • GreenLight is an on-going voluntary programme whereby private and public organizations commit towards the European Commission to reducing their lighting energy use. www.eu-greenlight.org

  • EMAS Toolkit for small organizations offers a step-by-step guidance through the implementation of environmental management. www.inem.org/new_toolkit

  • The main aim of the AUDIT II study was to establish long-term and continuous European level co-operation in the area of energy auditing. www.energyagency.at/(en)/projekte/audit.htm#eva-publ

  • ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy with the aim of saving money and protecting the environment through energy efficient products and practices. www.energystar.gov/
