PrimeNet Direct Marketing Solutions: Addressing the Environment

"We go through countdown steps when storms are beating on us," emphasizes Keefe. "For example, we recently completed our sixth electrical power test, where we kill the power and test to see if the machines and the emergency lights are running, or if anything went wrong."

In the past year, Keefe has also implemented many eco-friendly initiatives, including a comprehensive recycling program; the use of soy-based offset inks and water-compatible inkjet inks; and forklifts that run on battery power. PrimeNet's AC filter program is also designed to ensure that all AC units are running at maximum efficiency, and that all facility thermostats are set at a constant temperature of 74 degrees and 80 degrees in off hours. Other additions include a low-voltage, DC motor that runs air through filters to suck up dust; and automatic shut-off light switches and motion-activated lights throughout the plant.
