Green Focus
All businesses rely upon the use of finite natural resources in their everyday operations. So it's our belief we should all be working toward greater conservation of our natural and other resources in order to ensure their availability in the future. In our own efforts toward environmental stewardship, we strive to conserve and recycle any natural resources used in our production and distribution processes.Our recycling and conservation efforts include:
- offering managed forestry-certified paper products for all print jobs
- regular use of recycled packing boxes made from 35-45% PCW, all the way up to 100% PCW boxes
- EarthAware* recycled and biodegradable air bag packaging
- biodegradable corn starch peanut packaging
- proactive cardboard, wood, plastic and paper recycling efforts
- membership in the World Wildlife Federation
