Para Print announces commitment to environmental sustainability

Para Print, a provider of flexographic printing plates and pre-press services, has announced its commitment to environmental sustainability. At the heart of this initiative is the Green committee which is comprised of Para Print team members.  With a charter to seek out new ways to make the company greener and to present their recommendations to management for implementation, they have complete autonomy and access to all aspects of the company’s operations.

The Para Print commitment includes the following pledges:

• Ensure all procedures use clean technologies and protect the environment such as its closed-looped plate making system that captures and recycles solvents rather than discharging them into the environment

• Provide products and services to its customers that meet and exceed both regulatory and internal environmental requirements

• Include commitment to environmental sustainability in vendor selection criteria

• Implement policies that reduce its environmental impact exemplified by its movement to paperless communication and records and the recycling of all packaging materials

• Encourage a company culture of innovation that underpins its green initiative

• Create a healthy environment in the community

Ralph Zuccarini, president, said, ‘Decisions that we make today must maintain a balance between environmental and company financial goals and be implemented within the context of environmental responsibility. At Para Print we are dedicating our human and corporate resources to accomplish this objective.’
