Panaprint's Environmental Policies and Principles

It is Panaprint’s policy to be environmentally responsible in all activities. It’s good business practice and it is the right thing to do. This means operating under the following principles:

• Minimize our carbon footprint across all segments of our organization.
• Meet and, when possible, exceed all governmental rules and regulations concerning our environmental impact.
• Use sustainable or responsibly sourced products in our printing.
• Include environmental impact in our performance standards.
• Evaluate environmental performance periodically to ensure continuous improvement. 
• Panaprint recycles wastepaper and trimmings, aluminum printing plates, corrugated board, cardboard cores, fluorescent light bulbs and spent lubricating oil.

Panaprint strives for an environmentally responsible workflow in the following ways:

• Plant-wide recycling. Panaprint recycles wastepaper and trimmings, aluminum printing plates, corrugated board, cardboard cores, fluorescent, light bulbs and spent lubricating oil.
• Waste minimization. Panaprint’s printing ink is contained in stationary indoor tanks and piped directly to our printing presses. This reduces the possibilities for spills. We also use cleaning solvents that are piped to presses in a process called automatic blanket washing. These technologies reduce handling, efficiently manage chemical usage and minimize waste.
• Participation in The Green Award Program. This program is administrated by an outside consultant who regularly examines our facility to insure we are compliant with government and industry regulations in multiple areas. These areas include: air emissions, waste generation, chemical storage, usage and disposal, pollution prevention, recycling and employee safety.
• An emergency management committee which maintains a current environmental emergency crisis plan.
• Adequate manufacturing space.  Consideration was given to adequate storage and manufacturing space when we moved to our new facility. This allows us to space equipment and raw materials so that employees can safely move around the plant. The results are efficiency of motion, excellent housekeeping, minimizing the potential for spills and releases as well as providing a safer and healthier workplace for our employees.
