We are doing our part to protect the environment
We offer paper products that are recycled from certified sustainable production systems called PEFC (Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) and FSC (Forest Stewardship Council Certification).

Recycled paper products contain recovered fibers, which include pre or post consumer sources, or both. As a result, there are significant environmental advantages of producing recycled paper over non-recycled paper. The advantages create an eco-friendly footprint which consists of a reduced impact on forest resources, reduced air and water pollution, reduced water and energy consumption, and the reduction of solid waste.

We only use printing presses that incorporates the use of eco-friendly inks and solvents based on soy in our production which emit very low traces of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are the fumes emitted into the air from inks, solvents and cleaners as they are used or while they dry. Our VOC levels are one of the lowest in the world and much lower than the required amounts set by the AQMD. In comparison, petroleum based inks release a much greater amount of VOCs than soy inks. Soy inks are also extremely beneficial during the paper recycling process since removing soy ink stains from paper is much easier than other artificial inks. Soy inks are easily washable and cause less damage to the paper fibers. As a result, the recycled paper is much brighter and fit for reuse. Furthermore, the waste produced by soy inks does not pose any threat to the environment and can be easily treated using modern methods.

But we don’t stop there
In addition to paper and inks, our commitment to the environment is reinforced through all aspects of operation:

• Aqueous coatings are water based
• All paper waste is recycled
• Corrugated shipping cartons are 100% recyclable
• Shipping cartons are packed with 100% recyclable material
• All paper waste resulting from our production process are recycled.  
• We recycle our metal printing plates, inks and solvents.
• Three-phase lighting provides power savings of up to 50%
• With three shipping points across the country, jobs ship from the facility closest to the shipping destination whenever possible.  This reduces the overall carbon footprint by drastically reducing shipping distances and greenhouse gases.

In our continued commitment to the environment, we take every opportunity to offer customers environmentally conscious and friendly solutions by expanding our recycled paper selection while still retaining a high degree of quality.
