Green With Envy

Our green envy is for anyone dedicated to a clean, natural environment.

Marcus Printing has been taking steps for years to help reduce waste and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). We have been recycling our waste paper for over 15 years and have successfully reduced our VOCs by half over the past 7 years.

Below are some other ways in which we have become more environmentally friendly:

• Implemented a strict ink calculating system to determine the amount of ink needed for each job and thereby reducing the amount of wasted ink.
• Purchased two digital presses - no VOCs, no chemical washups.
• Rag recycling program through a company that reuses all by-products from the cleaning process.

In 2009 we made three more important steps to being evironmentally friendly. We received Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification*. This means we are able to provide FSC certified paper products and include the FSC logo for your print jobs, which in turn shows your commitment to the environment by supporting responsible forestry. Also in 2009 we were the first printer in New England to offset 100% of our Carbon Dioxide emissions and have Carbon Neutral status. And finally, we enrolled in Enernoc and voluntarily reduce power consumption in times of brownouts.

Green initiatives are an important pursuit of Marcus Printing, because we only have one chance to preserve the planet!

*FSC's mission is to "promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world's forests."
