SEATTLE, WA, February 18, 2021 — Today, SuperGraphics, a Seattle-based large format print company, announced their 2020 total recycling tonnage at 29.79 tons.

SuperGraphics launched EcoFormat™ in January of 2020 with steadfast purpose to lead the industry to a green and eco-friendly future.

To achieve this, SuperGraphics established a set of criteria to drive their business going forward:

  • Establish a recycling supply chain to ensure that all non-PVC plastics were recycled to a true second use.
  • Set Goals to expedite the movement to green materials.
  • Stay innovative with materials and practices to promote green materials to the market.

Through the course of 2020, SuperGraphics developed an internal process that ensured all qualifying non-PVC materials were properly sorted and staged for recycling. This involved manufacturing, pre-consumer waste, and office materials.

Developing a recycling supply chain led SuperGraphics to a relationship with DTG Recycling, a leading Northwest recycler. The recycling tonnage from SuperGraphics is sorted by DTG to remove metals. The remainder of the material (non-PVC plastics, paper, wood, and other recyclable materials) is ground into Gigafuel, a low carbon pellet fuel that is utilized as a fuel for industrial kilns within the Pacific NW.

SuperGraphics President, Reid Baker: “We are excited to partner with DTG to deliver a zero-landfill solution for large format graphic projects and especially excited about our first-year recycling tonnage of almost 30 tons. And we will significantly increase our tonnage in the coming year.”

About SuperGraphics — Based in Seattle, WA, SuperGraphics is a large-format printer specializing in retail and environmental solutions and is well known for its commitment to innovation. Their team is a trusted partner to many iconic brands, who rely on SuperGraphics’ ability to execute local and nationwide programs, from concept to completion with superior results.

The Walls at Montana Athletics Work as Hard as the Athletes Do. Greg Sundberg Has Spent 25 Years Making Sure of It.

Greg Sundberg has spent 25 years at the University of Montana proving that championship programs aren't just built by coaches and athletes — they're built by the environments they walk into every day.

Brooks Running takes ownership of its brand seriously — and Johnny Hubbard is a big reason why. As Creative Production Design Manager, he's spent 12 years building the production design infrastructure that translates Brooks' creative into every window, wall, and surface it lives on. Now, as Brooks opens its first owned retail stores, that foundation is exactly what's making it possible. Here's how it works.

They're the ones designed to keep becoming something new.
