Being ‘Green’ Pays Dividends

According to Lester Samuels, managing partner, “We have a long list of environmental initiatives here at Pictorial Offset. For example, in 2006, we reduced our VOC emissions by 12 percent and our hazardous waste by 37 percent. And, we reforested 10 acres of the Edwin B. Forsythe Wildlife Refuge to become the only commercial printer in the United States to become carbon-neutral via reforestation. Our efforts in 2006 included installing automatic blanket washers on our web presses and using low-VOC solvents in our manufacturing process. All materials printed at our facility are within the carbon-neutral footprint of Pictorial Offset.”
