Pac 12 Sustainability Conference

ECO-FRIENDLY PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

‘Going green’ is no longer just a catchphrase. For the health of our planet, it’s essential for companies, large and small, to actively take steps in reducing their greenhouse emissions and physical waste footprint. As a #superformat printer, we’ve made a significant commitment to protecting our environment by seeking out innovative, eco-friendly print materials and focusing on lean production practices that use less energy and waste fewer resources.

PAC 12 Team Green – Sustainability Conference

To facilitate the PAC 12 Team Green’s commitment to zero waste across all 12 participating campuses, we’re proud to share a unique environmentally friendly project that we recently produced for them. The PAC 12 Team Green encourages schools to move towards zero waste and to be creative in developing practices to reuse, recycle, compost, or by working with partners to drive impactful changes.

The Project – Produce a free-standing 90″ tall tree out of environmentally friendly materials that will stand near the entrance of the PAC 12 Sustainability Conference in June 2019. SuperGraphics engineered and produced the tree in conjunction with Xanita Board and their team.  Multi-colored leaves with the PAC 12 Team Green logo printed on one side and space to write on the other were also produced.  Attendees wrote sustainability pledges, goals, and creative ideas on the leaves then attached them to the tree.”

Lean Production Practices

Additional ways we focus on being an environmentally responsible printer:

• • Design and layout files trim paper waste

• • Always use 100% Recycled paper and materials when available

• • We print digitally which means we print to the exact quantity with zero to no waste, unlike other print processes that yield wastes of 10% or greater

• 
  
  • We engineer our production line-up to run multiple projects at one time to reduce energy costs and material waste
