Everywhere you look today – everyone’s going green. Environmental responsibility has become the latest business trend that is here to stay. Going Green is not new to Grit. What Grit has done since it opened it’s new plant in Montoursville, PA in 1992:
- Recycle paper waste from all aspects of print production
- Recycle all paper waste from office environments
- Invest in state-of-the-art presses with shorter make readies, reducing paper usage
- Recycle aluminum printing plates
- Donate unused inks to small print shops
- Buy paper from environmentally responsible suppliers who are FSC-certified and SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) certified
- Use aqueous (water-based) coatings and vegetable/soy-based inks
- Continuously evaluate areas for waste reduction and lowered energy use
Our ultimate goal is to produce printed materials for our customer’s efficiently, cost-effectively and with minimal waste material. At Grit we are committed to helping protect the environment and reducing waste materials that enter the air, water, and our landfills.
