Sustainablility is more than Thinking Green. It is about meeting the demands of the present while taking care that the resources we use today will be available tomorrow. Take a look around and discover what it means to Define Sustainable Printing.
Education. Signature Offset continues to educate our staff, suppliers and customers about our commitment to the environment and promote awareness and accountability on environmental issues. We will regularly review this policy to ensure it reflects the latest information and affords opportunities for us to exercise leadership in the development of environmental standards.
Fiber Sourcing, Paper Recovery & Recycling. Signature Offset cares about our forests and the paper products made from our forests. It is our commitment – and our challenge – to promote sustainable forestry and recycling in order to meet the needs of today without compromising the ability to meet the needs of future generations.
We encourage our customers and the public to recycle paper. Paper products are highly recyclable, and we recognize that recovered paper is an important raw material supply for the paper industry. Toward this end we recycle all of our paper waste, returned rack copies from our customers and also purchase a majority of our newsprint from recycled paper facilities.
Production Materials. Signature Offset is a leader in recycling production material such as 100% aluminum printing plates and soybean oil-based inks. Aluminum can be recycled indefinitely and we are proud to say that we use only aluminum plates for printing. Because our plates are directly imaged on, there is no extra waste in films, and developing solvents. We promise to upgrade our technologies in plate production as they become available.
Signature Offset uses non-VOC soybean based color inks. All of the colored ink that does not get used gets incrementally added to our black ink to ensure complete use and no waste. These inks are water soluble and friendly to the environment. Because these inks are not heat set into the paper, it makes the paper product itself easier to recycle.
Community Involvement. Signature Offset has partnered up with several other companies who provide services to the community. We believe that involvement in the community we serve helps us be more accountable for the decisions we make as a company. We can see directly how these same choices impact those around us.
Some of these are: Thorne Ecological Institute, Imagine! and Intercambio De Comunidades.
