Sustainability
Our Sustainability Plan is to be socially and environmentally responsible by conserving natural resources and preventing pollution in the conduct of our business.
Our paperboard comes from paper mills with certification (FSC, PEFC, SFI) that ensures source
forest resources and lands are managed in a sustainable, environmentally responsible way. Our
ink, adhesives, and supplies contain significant bio-derived, renewable resource content and
comply with content safety standards. All ink is vegetable-based (30% vegetables oils). Our press
room uses a consignment-based ink inventory and printing supplies system which reduces quantity
of ink and supplies ordered and stored on site.
We dispose of waste in compliance with regulatory standards; we recycle
(scrap paper, aluminum, etc.); we minimize utility consumption in our facility's operation.
