About Us  >  Sustainability

Sustainability

Lithotype Company is committed to operating as a sustainable and environmentally accountable business.  Sustainability refers to the actions we take that support quality of life now and for future generations.  We aspire to do what is right, not just for the bottom line, but because the future of our earth depends on it.
 
Our objective is to use renewable resources wherever possible, and to continue to reduce energy consumption and waste.  The environmental effect of the manufacturing industry is becoming more visible and we are doing our part to create a smaller footprint.  We are taking a proactive approach that includes offering more environmentally friendly laminates to customers, and continually exploring ways to reduce our use of energy, water, and waste to achieve attainable source reduction goals.
 
We are actively implementing policies for the improvement of our environmental performance with the commitment of our managers, employees, and Board of Directors.

Accomplishments in sustainability include:
  • Implemented Electron Beam Curing, which reduced natural gas consumption at the SSF plant by 85% and reduced VOC’s from 24 tons a year to 4 tons.
  • All E.B. inks are 100% solids with vegetable oil as a base to reduce VOC’s to near zero.  Water- base inks used on flexo presses.
  • All solvents are low VOC and are ahead of mandatory compliance by 2 years.
  • Naturally based Food Safe cleaners are used on product contact surfaces.
  • Materials supplier is SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) certified, using only pulp from sustainable sources and member of PEFC.
  • In partnership with Energy Watch, PG&E, and Ecology Action, all lighting is high-efficiency LED.
  • All press, rewind waste as well as printing plates and pallets are recycled.
