We Maintain a Relationship with Green Vendors

Our vendors are associated with green forest certification bodies that monitor and protect the environment. These organizations authenticate that their wood and paper products are responsibly harvested from verified sources. These initiatives are backed by a third party certification audit.

Aligning our Initiative with our Customers Green Requirements

We recognize that you as our customer have goals in place to reduce costs and maintain efficiencies, as well as reduce waste and protect the environment. The green policies and processes at Graphic Controls afford us the ability to conserve energy and water, as well as reduce packaging and plastics that are not easily recyclable. These efforts enable us to carry the green initiative from our vendor directly to our customer providing a unified goal of environmental protection and conservation.

Our Dedicated Waste Management Program:

Graphic Controls is committed to operating in a manner that conserves natural resources and protects our environment. Through our dedicated recycling program, office waste is collected from all points of generation and combined with production waste from our printing and converting process. It is then mechanically sorted for it's content and prepared for recycling.
