Success Printing and Mailing recently took a huge step toward becoming a leader in the “Green” printing revolution by installing a Xerox IGEN Digital Printing Press. The advantages of this technology: no waste, no chemicals, no odor, no volatile organic compounds, and it is energy efficient! Compared to the equivalent offset press it uses far less electricity. The IGEN also reduces the need for waste paper to set jobs up, so we use much less paper. The heat it generates is normally vented outside. During the winter it’s redirected into our printing plant to save oil. Paper manufacturing in the United States has become increasingly environmentally conscious. It is not enough today to buy paper labeled “Recycled”; we also have to make sure the paper manufacturer is doing their part to sustain our forests. Many companies have made a serious commitment to conserve our planet’s trees and other natural resources; some are using wind power to produce paper. There are now several organizations such as “FSC” Forest Stewardship Council, “SFI” Sustainable Forestry Initiative, The Rain Forest Alliance and “PEFC” Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification whose sole mission is to protect our planet. They have specific guidelines for the paper manufacturers to adhere to. They are independent, non-governmental, not for profit organizations established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests. Because of our commitment to the environment, Success Printing and Mailing whenever possible uses paper that is manufactured by the companies that have adopted the guidelines of these types of organizations. |
