The John Roberts Co. Takes Top Heidelberg ECO Printing Award

To ensure end-to-end sustainability, The John Roberts Co. operates state-of-the-art equipment—from prepress to postpress—and focuses on reducing both paper and process waste. It also uses inks based on vegetable oils. What’s more, the print shop has cut the proportion of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the dampening solution it uses by 60 percent, with a further 15 percent reduction planned for next year. It uses natural gas to heat the buildings and electricity generated from wind power. Consumption of both gas and electricity has been cut by 10 percent this year.
