Every decision we make as a business has consequences. From the forests that provide the pulp used to make our paper, to the oceans, skies and roads that transport our goods, to the rivers and lakes near the paper mills producing our paper, to the air that our employees breathe, and to all the varieties of energy sources chosen to produce, transport, convert into finished goods & distribute our printed materials, our decisions matter. At PrintWest, we will actively think about each environmental factor on every order we produce.
At PrintWest, our environmental commitment is to work at:
- Setting an environmental standard for our industry.
- Seeking out local vendors and suppliers to support the local economy.
- Marketing local paper mills with the goal of keeping US factories and mills alive, while minimizing global transportation and its polluting effects.
- Offering our customers environmentally sound alternatives and suggestions on projects and estimates.
- Openly discussing our environmental policies, where we started, how we´ve improved, where we still need work, and our long-term goals.
- Using our facilities as a test bed for environmentally beneficial processes and products.
- Offering our customers´ a complete cradle-to-grave service; just call us and we will take care of recycling your old printed materials.
- Being accountable to outside audits of our company and our practices and procedures, as we are involved with organizations such as FSC, Rainforest Alliance and the Sustainable Green Printing Partnership.
