Kendall Press Commitment To Sustainability
The Kendall Press team recognizes and deeply values the critical role we play in protecting and preserving natural resources. We firmly believe that printed communication and environmental sustainability can coexist harmoniously. Our commitment to this belief is reflected in the proactive measures we have taken to manage our business in an environmentally friendly, positive, and thoughtful manner.
Below is a comprehensive list of actions we undertake to continuously minimize our eco-footprint and build a sustainable business within the printing industry.
- Sustainable Paper Use: We use and recommend our clients use FSC® certified paper derived from sustainable forestry. Almost 100% of our paper purchases come from companies that harvest trees from decades-old tree farms. These farms are specifically planted, harvested, and replanted to provide a continuous source of non-public paper pulp. This practice not only ensures a sustainable paper supply but also guarantees that the land remains undeveloped commercially. Learn more here.
- Recycled Paper: We also utilize recycled papers containing recovered fibers from pre or post-consumer sources, or both, whenever possible. This helps to reduce the demand for virgin paper and supports the recycling industry.
- Waste Recycling: We recycle all waste materials generated during our production processes. This commitment extends to paper, plastics, and other materials, ensuring that they are reused or properly disposed of in an eco-friendly manner.
- Eco-friendly Printing: Our printing processes employ biodegradable and recyclable inks and toners. These eco-friendly materials reduce the environmental impact of our products and ensure they are safer for the environment.
- Chemical-Free Operations: We have eliminated all hazardous chemicals from our operations. This change not only protects our employees but also prevents harmful substances from entering the environment.
- Energy Efficiency: We have implemented programs to reduce our electrical consumption. These initiatives include using energy-efficient equipment and optimizing our production processes to minimize energy waste.
- Sustainable Practices: Our efforts to reduce waste go beyond recycling. We continuously seek ways to improve our production methods, reduce resource consumption, and enhance our overall sustainability practices.
- Hybrid Delivery Vehicle: Our commitment to sustainability extends to our delivery operations. We use a plug-in hybrid vehicle for deliveries, significantly reducing our carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.
At Kendall Press, our dedication to environmental sustainability is unwavering. We strive to be leaders in the printing industry by integrating sustainable practices into every aspect of our business, ensuring that we leave a positive legacy for future generations. To learn more, contact us.
