WHAT IS ECO FRIENDLY PRINTING
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set the present standard for being Post-Consumer Waste, at ONLY 30% PCW. I chose to promote 100% PCW. Keep all the previous printed paper from going to a Landfill.
Here are a few reasons to change your buying habits.
1. Switching to 100% Post-Consumer Waste Recycled Paper uses printed paper to make new paper. No Trees are used. And the previous paper waste did not go to our overcrowded landfills.
2. Using Soy Based Inks and 100% Non-Toxic Toners eliminates a lot of oil-based inks.
3. Green Star Energy is promoted. The paper mills use Solar Energy and Wind Energy to make the recycled papers. This saves Water, Energy and Trees.
4. We encourage reducing the use of Metallic Inks. They are toxic to our environment.
5. We promote more Sustainable methods to print your message. Blind Embossing and Normal Embossing is more Sustainable than using Metallic Foil Embossing.
6. Eliminate Vinyl from your Banners, and Pressure Sensitive Labels.
7. Use Organic and Recycled T Shirts. Less chemicals.
8. We promote Chlorine Free Bleaching. Our papers are bleached with Oxygen or Hydrogen Peroxide and not Chlorine.
Chlorine, bleached with other chemicals can create a deadly chemical- Dioxin, which can cause Cancer. This deadly chemical can seep into our lakes, streams, and rivers and poison our fish, our wildlife and us.
9. Use standard sizes to cut down on paper waste.
