The L.I.F.E. program was developed in order to assist TLMI members in finding cost effective ways to reduce their companies’ environmental footprint. L.I.F.E. is a program designed specifically for the narrow web marketplace and addresses four key elements of the narrow web printing and converting industry: clean production, energy and greenhouse gases, product and environmentally preferable materials, and management practices.

The TLMI L.I.F.E. program is the only certification platform tailored to the specific requirements of the narrow web printing and packaging industry.

Kopco president and chief executive officer Walter Zeek said: ‘Kopco Graphics has always been mindful of the environment and the L.I.F.E. program keeps our company focused on good environmental practices. During the L.I.F.E. certification process, we learned new ways where we can have a positive impact and have raised the awareness level throughout the company.

‘By having the L.I.F.E. certification we hope to validate Kopco as a good steward of the environment and have influence on others to do the same.’
