Serigraph strives to use the fewest natural resources and to produce the least waste possible in safe, environmentally-friendly facilities. The company’s Environmental Policy guides our operations.
Pollution Prevention
Approach:
We use biofiltration to scrub our emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and are converting to more environmentally-friendly latex and ultraviolet (UV) inks.
Accomplishments:
In 1996, Serigraph became the first company in the U.S. to install a biofiltration system. Since 2000, we have eliminated more than 180 tons of VOCs from emissions.
Waste Reduction
Approach:
We are working to minimize the amount of overall waste and increase the percentage of waste that is recycled instead of sent to landfills.
Accomplishments:
99% of our universal waste is now recycled. We have managed to keep 62% of our waste out of landfills.
Energy Efficiency
Approach:
We are converting LED lighting and installing more energy efficient systems and equipment.
Accomplishments:
We have accomplished a 9% energy usage reduction in the past year.
