Over the years, we have worked our butts off to become an example of efficiency and environmental responsibility. Better yet, our words are more than just fuzzy feelings about smiling trees and chirping birds. We have systems in place and policies we follow that help us walk the talk in our day to day activities.
Here are some of the ways in which we help show our love to Mother Nature:
- We have an extensive recycling program: 100% of our paper waste is captured and recycled. All metal printing plates and inks are also recycled.
- We use production materials made from sustainable and renewable resources.
- We hate hogging energy, so we’re constantly working to reduce our electricity and fuel consumption:
- Replaced incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescents throughout our plant, warehouses, and offices.
- Replaced roof systems with energy efficient systems
- Adopted highly efficient heating and cooling systems
- Reclaimed heat emitted in the printing process to heat production areas
- Whenever possible, we use green friendly technologies and processes, such as providing digital proofs instead of delivering printed ones and employing energy efficient equipment and production methods. We also have environmentally friendly printing machines, thanks to our partnership with HP.
- Use of VOC low-emission materials, meaning higher indoor air quality and less pollutants.
We are also Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG) certified, which means we use no hazardous materials in our production processes.
Because our biggest consumable is paper, we encourage our customers to use eco-friendly friendly papers. We recognize that everything is connected and as a result B&B is FSC Certified. And when it comes to papers, we walk the talk: 100% of our house digital stocks are FSC certified and have post consumer waste content. And the vast majority of our papers used in all of our processes, digital and offset, are FSC certified and/or recycled.
We are constantly looking for new ways in which to decrease our ecological footprint and continue our practices as an environmentally responsible company. This gives you the confidence that you are working with a company that matches your green-friendly ideals!
