1. Manufactured from PCW (Post-Consumer Waste)
There are typically questions regarding recycling media with ink on it, therefore we believe a product made of post-consumer waste is the most certain way to impact a sustainability effort.
2. Recyclable
Latex inks are considered “environmentally friendly” and media printed with latex inks should be able to be recyclable. Have a sample of your printed media tested by your recycling operator to verify if it is acceptable for recycling. These guidelines also apply to media printed with UV inks. Base media recycling codes are #1-Polyester-PET, 3#-Polyvinyl Chloride PVC #5-Polypropylene PP.
3. PVC-Free
PVC products emit harmful byproducts. Papers, Polyester and Polypropylene do not contain PVC elements. PVC is the most environmentally damaging plastic. The PVC lifecycle -- its production, use, and disposal -- results in the release of toxic, chlorine-based chemicals.
4. FSC Certified
These products meet the Forest Stewardship Council standards for sustainable and environmentally responsible forest management.
5. LEEDs Certified
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design organization certifies that the building materials used, meet a green building credit rating system. The more LEEDs credits, the higher the building efficiency.
