Midpoint International helps to green the
Pentagon, improve US-Canada relations


Bob Billak, manager of Energy for the Department of Defense Headquarters, with Bruce Buchan, president of Midpoint International.


Midpoint International was one of 20 companies and the only Canadian firm invited to participate in the 2003 Earth Day Celebrations inside the Pentagon. To commemorate the event, Midpoint commissioned a one-of-a-kind birdhouse in the shape of the Pentagon made from 100 per cent recycled milk jugs a symbol of recycling and also a practical way to reduce the mosquito population in the Pentagon courtyard. From left to right: Paul Haselbush, director of Real Estate and Facilities; Howard Becker, deputy director of Washington Headquarters Services; Bruce Buchan, president of Midpoint International; and, Deborah Fox, Midpoint International U.S. government sales rep.


Midpoint International Inc. of Aurora, Ontario recently announced the acquisition of a prestigious new client, The Pentagon. The Pentagon is currently the largest office building in the world; the building is 8.1 million square feet with over 17 miles of corridors, which accommodates over 25,500 employees with visitors and dignitaries surpassing 60,000 people per day. Midpoint's Recycling Cabinets -- which are made from 100 per cent recycled content -- combine esthetics and high quality graphics that provide for the proper identification and collection of recyclables.
