1991, he was asked to serve on the Board in 1995. A year later, he assumed leadership of the scholarship committee. In five years as chairman, TLMI’s scholar- ship contribution tripled from $200,000 in 1995 to $600,000 in 2011. The fund, which stands at $1,000,000 for 2016, is used to award scholarships to students demonstrating an interest in the tag and label industry. The TLMI Board named one of the scholarships in Bell’s honor. For the third year running at its award ceremony, FINAT also rewarded exceptional achievement in the arena of recycling. UK cider makers Brothers Drinks and German label printers Hagmaier Etiketten & Druck were the headliners in the 2016 FINAT RecyclingAwards. Brothers Drinks Co. Ltd. of Shepton Mallet, UK, won the End User Award for its early involvement in a spe- cial program focused on the recycling of used PET re- lease liner, and jointly set up by labelstock producers Avery Dennison and UK plastics processors Polymer Extrusion Technologies. For the second time, the Converter Award was won by Hagmaier Etiketten & Druck of Münsingen, Ger- many, because release liner, matrix waste, and other related secondary materials — paper and film — are all recycled by the company, eliminating landfill.
