Environmental Sustainability — The Greening of Print

Computer-to-plate workflows have also been adopted to reduce waste. Any hazardous waste that is still produced is shipped to a fuel-blending facility for use in industrial waste-fired boilers.

GeoGreen also addresses recycling. Systems have been installed throughout the facility to extract, shred and bale paper waste for recycling. Corrugated is recycled, as is 100 percent of the printer’s printing plates. Pallets are recycled. Fluorescent bulbs, ballasts and batteries are recycled. Electronics and computers are recycled. Office paper is recycled, as well as all lubricant oils used in the plant.
