Sustainability
Working together for a sustainable world.
Sustainable manufacturing is an important part of our philosophy and our business practices. Whether we are producing a project, investing in new equipment, or identifying a process for improvement, we look for ways to minimize negative environmental impacts and conserve energy and natural resources in ways that are safe for our community, our customers, and our employees..
Chemistry-Free Plate Technology
World Press utilizes processor-less printing plates that eliminate traditional plate processing chemistry, reducing chemical consumption, wastewater generation, energy usage, and maintenance associated with conventional plate production
REDUCING WASTE
By using G7 methodology and our closed-loop color control system, we reduce the number of makeready waste sheets since we can quickly match proofs on press. We measure multiple data points throughout our process, perform root cause analysis on any issues, and benchmark waste against industry averages through our Print Media Association membership. Our team consistently outperforms peers in waste reduction. Our Komori Lithrone H-UV Press was selected in part for its waste reduction capabilities — it matches color quickly and maintains consistent color throughout the run with minimal waste.
RECYCLING
World Press recycles paper, corrugate, plates, and unused inks. All of our associates are trained in our recycling procedures to ensure consistent, responsible practices across the facility.
SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
World Press chooses environmentally-friendly materials whenever possible. Our offset inks are soy and vegetable-based, with minimal VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) emitted. Our house papers are manufactured with 10% post-consumer waste, and we have updated our lighting plant-wide with energy-saving fixtures.
FSC CERTIFICATIONS
World Press has been FSC Certified for over a decade. FSC Certification ensures that each enterprise involved in the chain of custody for paper used on your printing project operates in environmentally, economically, and socially responsible ways. Whether it relates to green energy, carbon offsetting, or green logistics, World Press can help you achieve your corporate sustainability goals.
