Green Initiatives

At Jos. Berning Printing Co. our goal is to make a great impression on our customers—without making a big impact on the environment. Through our Green Initiatives Program, we proactively manage our natural resources responsibly, while minimizing our environmental footprint.

• Recycling of pre-consumer and post-consumer paper
• Use of soy and vegetable-based inks
• Lower VOC emissions from the use of environmental certified press room components
• Proper disposal of hazardous ink waste and chemicals
• State-of-the-art printing equipment to reduce make-ready sheets by 90%
• Recycling of aluminum and metal press plates
• Recycling of all cardboard material
• Low-energy light bulbs and proper disposal of fluorescent bulbs
