Green Strategies & Processes
Strategies
Source Reduction
Minimizing Waste Without Compromising Quality
We encourage source reduction whenever possible, focusing on using fewer materials to achieve the same functionality. This approach reduces waste at the source without compromising product integrity, leading to more efficient use of resources and a lighter environmental footprint.
Electron Beam (EB) Inks
Eliminating VOCs and Enhancing Recyclability
Our use of Electron Beam (EB) inks eliminates VOC emissions entirely. EB inks allow for the complete recycling of paper products, require no protective resin coating, and help reduce packaging costs. This technology enhances environmental sustainability while maintaining high-quality print results.
Environmental Strategy
Innovating to Minimize Waste Throughout the Product Lifecycle
Our environmental strategy focuses on implementing waste-efficient systems and continuously seeking innovations to minimize waste at every stage of the product lifecycle. By optimizing processes and embracing new technologies, we strive to reduce our environmental impact while delivering exceptional products to our clients.
Processes
Recycling Efforts
Demonstrating Commitment to Waste Reduction and Resource Conservation
We recycle 98.5% of clean waste generated in our operations. This commitment to recycling reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, conserves natural resources, and exemplifies our dedication to environmental responsibility.
Water Management
Maintaining Zero Wastewater Discharge for Environmental Protection
We uphold a zero wastewater discharge policy, ensuring that no wastewater from our facilities contaminates the environment. This rigorous management of water resources protects local ecosystems and supports sustainable water use practices.
Eco-Friendly Facility Design
Reducing Energy Consumption Through Innovative Building Features
In pursuit of a more sustainable future, in 2009 we updated our eco-friendly headquarter facility, which now incorporates insulated concrete forms that reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling by 71%.
Key green features include:
Ventilation System with Heat Exchanger: Recovers heat from exhaust air to preheat incoming fresh air, enhancing energy efficiency.
Radiant Floor Heating: Provides even and efficient heating by circulating warm water through pipes embedded in the floors.
Energy Efficiency
Harnessing Advanced Technologies for Sustainable Energy Use
Our headquarter facility is powered by two PureCell® System Model 400 fuel cells, generating 100% of our electricity needs. We also use EnergyStar-rated motors and drives to improve efficiency across our operations. These investments in energy-efficient equipment reduce greenhouse gas emissions and decrease our dependence on non-renewable energy sources.
Think Sustainable. we do.
At AMGRAPH Packaging, our dedication to sustainability goes beyond our products and processes—it’s ingrained in our corporate culture and vision for the future. We are continuously seeking innovative ways to reduce our environmental impact and promote eco-friendly practices throughout the industry.
