San Diego, Calif. — Yamagata America Inc. has introduced a new Green Printing service that uses 100 percent and 40 percent post-consumer recycled paper. The company says for every ton of paper printed on 100 percent recycled paper, its Green Printing saves 10,052 gallons of water, 14 million BTUs, 1120 pounds of solid waste
and 2210 pounds of greenhouse gas.
Using renewable energy, Yamagata's new service produces manuals, catalogs and directories that meet or exceed all industry quality standards. The service reduces waste
and pollution by using non-traditional bio mass fuels such as wood waste that has historically been burned or dumped into landfills. All materials are produced and printed in the United States.
The new service stems directly from Yamagata's recent ISO 14001:2004 certification, the ISO standard for successfully implementing an Environmental Management System (EMS), said the company.
To help companies meet global environmental standards including the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, the company conducts laboratory test on everything from paper and ink to stitching wire and glue to certify that its product manuals can be legally shipped to any global location.
