At Print House, we focus on sustainable printing all year round, not just in April! Here are some of the practices we employ every day.

Recycling Paper Waste
In addition to our standard practice of recycling paper and cardboard throughout our office, all our house paper stocks are made up of at least 30% Post Consumer Waste (PCW) recycled content. This eliminates the overall amount of fresh pulp from trees, energy, and water needed to make a sheet of paper.

Local Donations
Local schools and non-profit organizations are always in need of paper to make pamphlets, posters and publish books. Print House donates unused paper materials to community institutions to help with these efforts.

Chemistry-free Platemaking Systems
We utilize chemical-free plating systems and machine washes to eliminate toxic and potentially harmful manufacturing solutions during our production efforts. This simple switch means a significant reduction in hazardous waste disposal as well as improved health conditions for our press operators.
