Go Green with Dimaco.
Printing essentially comes down to four main elements - water, paper, ink and chemicals,
all of which become waste products at some point in the printing process. Dimaco minimizes
waste and cares for the environment in several ways which we are always striving to enhance
and expand:
- We don't use film. Computer-to-plate technology eliminates the use of film, which eliminates
film disposal, film storage and the chemicals used to accommodate film.
- We use recycled paper. We encourage our clients to use recycle on their orders, when they can.
- We use products manufactured by companies that are environmentally sensitive, and we purchase paper that is chlorine-free.
- We recycle all paper waste, plates and press by-products. From the press to the
bindery, Dimaco recycles all paper waste, plates and press by-products, including oil
and ink.
We use water in processing. We've taken every step at Dimaco to remove harmful chemicals
from the printing process and use water wherever possible. Even our in-line varnish is an aqueous
coating.
- We recycle all our toner cartridges for our copiers. We participate with all printer companies
in their ship back program on all empty cartridges.
- We actively look for ways to make our office "Green".
Some examples are as follows:
-1- We print double sided in the office, where possible.
-2- All lights bulbs used are of energy saving type.
-3- We switch off lights when they are not needed.
-4- Computer/Monitors are turned off when not in use.
-5- We use email where possible to communicate rather than fax or letter.
-6- We use video conferencing, when possible.
Are you concerned about the environment? So are we--one more thing we've got in common. Call today and we can help you increase your marketing while saving green.
