CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT
Energy
efficiency
Our packaging supplier decreased energy usage by 4.6% in 2021 while experiencing increased production schedules.
They migrated its entire forklift fleet batteries from lead-acid to lithium ion and Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM).
Lithium-ion increases energy efficiency by 30% and eliminates the danger of sulfuric acid spills present in lead-acid batteries, while AGM batteries significantly reduce the spill risk of sulfuric acid.
Less hazardous
waste
Our printer’s Trident MAX printing technology is now used in more than 50% of flexible packaging jobs resulting in more ink used for printing and less hazard ous solvent ink waste.
Their Flexible Packaging reclamation systems recycle and clean up solvents, significantly reducing solvent purchases and the generation of hazardous wastes.
Responsible waste
management
More than 30% of production waste is diverted from the landfill through recycling and waste-to-energy programs.
Approximately 1.42 tons of electronics with hazardous components were kept from being sent to the landfill in 2021.
Reduced
Emissions
Heat capture of air compressors almost entirely supplements heat demands in the Flexible Packaging plant.
Oxidizers in the Flexible Packaging plants capture and eliminate more than 90% of VOC emissions generated at the press.
In 2021, our packaging supplier reduced VOC emissions by 16.4%.
