OPERATIONS
For PACIFIC BINDERY, sustainability is directly connected to the way we do business.
Recycle Responsibly
Believing that “it’s the right thing to do”, in 2007 we developed a comprehensive zero waste in-house recycling program that has become a showcase of sustainable leadership. We recycle 100% of our manufacturing waste. Paper, plastic, wood, metal, electronics, adhesives, and organic waste are all recycled responsibly. All paper, plastic, wood, metal and electronics are processed by recycling partners who eliminate those products from the landfill.Energy Management
Designed from the ground up for sustainable use of power, heat and efficient workflow, our award-winning 64,000 square foot plant was constructed to exceptionally high building standards. It includes a thermal roof liner, intelligent energy consumption and hyper efficient workflows. Our office carpets are made of 25% recycled materials and are 100% recyclable.LED Lighting
In 2020, our facility underwent a complete retrofit of all plant and office lighting to LED – a tremendous investment that will pay for itself within three years. The light quality is rated 5,000K for our manufacturing areas which is ideal for color inspection and simulates daylight for the health of our staff.Sustainable Practices
To make sure our business is sustainable, we have developed policies and practices that minimize the impact of our operations on the environment, as follows: Reduce Power Consumption Our equipment chiller reduces power consumption by cooling water in rooftop units, using ambient air temperature during the cooler months. During winter, air compressor heat is diverted into the plant for secondary heating.Reduce Office Waste
We continue to focus on electronic billing/invoicing and programming output devices for maximum savings using high post-consumer-waste paper.PROCUREMENT
We continually review our consumables, adhesives, and shrink films with an eye to reduce our (and your) environmental footprint.
PACIFIC BINDERY + TRADE SERVICES works with industry associations such as CANOPY.org and PRINT FORWARD association to ensure we maintain best practices for our shared community.
