-We offer post-consumer recycled stocks, PLA stocks, biodegradable stocks, and other eco-friendly printing material -Over 95% of our waste is transported to a facility which transforms our waste into energy pellets used in conjunction with and as a substitute for coal. These pellets also burn much cleaner than coal. -We’ve installed new lighting throughout the entire building to be more energy efficient -We offer water-soluable adhesives which allow labels to be washed off their containers, so the recycling process for containers is much simpler. -Water-based, solvent-free inks are used in our flexographic printing operations -We offer a biodegradable material called PLA film made from corn -We offer bulk shipping for those customers who are willing to mix items in their shipping, allowing us to cut back on boxes and shipping paper. -Reporting is mostly done utilizing PDF documents, rather than printing reports daily -Our digital stock is coated by a company that uses 100% renewable energy, including wind power. -To maintain health and safety internally, we have implemented a safety committee. -Being able to print digital labels cuts back our waste tremendously.
