Helping to Make the Earth Greener
At Allegra Vancouver – False Creek, we’re keenly aware of our
responsibility to help make the Earth a greener, cleaner place
to live. We’re also aware of what we need to do to reduce our
ecological footprint. By working closely with eco-conscious
clients like you, we can:
- Increase the use of recyclable materials
- Reduce toxins and waste
- Decrease emissions and energy consumption
- Develop waste prevention and reduction processes
Thinking Green. Printing Smarter.
The printing process can be resource intensive, but there are many “green practices” we
can incorporate in our daily work routines to help diminish the amount of waste we generate. Here are some methods we are currently using:
Recycling Programs
From paper to ink to money and everything in between, recycling saves. Period.
It also reduces air pollution and waste to landfills. And that’s a good thing.
Last year, Allegra Vancouver – False Creek recycled
1,143 cubic yards of recycled material. That’s a
volume that would fill 572 full sized pick-up trucks!
We sequestered 171 tonnes of carbon emissions.
Controlling Waste
Being a control freak has its advantages. By establishing
inventory controls, we reduce waste and save cash.
Using Resources Wisely
Incorporating recycled papers – with high levels of post-
consumer content – into your communications projects
helps keep a lot of paper out of landfills. Using paper
from responsibly or scientifically managed forests goes
even further in reducing the damage to our world’s natural
resources.
In pursuit of this goal, Allegra Vancouver – False Creek
has been certified to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)
Chain-Of-Custody standards.
