FSC® certification
We guide clients towards the use of eco-friendly papers with maximum post-consumer waste (PCW), thereby reducing the need to cut more trees. Other than the PWC content, these FSC® certified papers also only contain pulp harvested from certified forests using responsible practices. In 2011 alone, we purchased 3,500,000 pounds of FSC® certified paper.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
PDI uses soya based inks that have a reduced VOC content of less that 5%. (Certified by Terrachoice - Method 24)
Water based varnish is used in order to minimize COVs and to facilitate the recycling of the printed product once its lifecycle has ended.
