We are Eco Friendly! We also proudly leave a 0 metric ton CO2/year Carbon Footprint according to our 2013 TerraPass Business Carbon Footprint Assessment. Whenever possible we use recycled paper from certified sustainable production systems. All of our printing incorporates 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. What’s more our press kit printing line is powered by wind power and press kits are printed in partnership with TerrPass. We also incorporate a digital desktop office where office documents and communication is digitized for maximum efficiency and minimum paper use. |
