Speech Transcript:

This is another video from The Odee Company on green printing.

We’re gonna talk about recycling. We’ve talked about paper waste on another video, but that’s one of the areas that we are going to recycle is our paper waste. We are a medium sized printing company, and we recycled our paper for about ten years. And it is our guess that just a medium sized printing company over that time [spends] by recycling paper saves tens of thousands of trees and that’s just by ourselves.

So, as and industry, if we all recycle, we are talking about a full forest, I guess, that we are saving from recycling our paper waste.

The other thing that you can recycle is your ink or press solutions. Here at The Odee Company we use vegetable based inks. Our press solutions are eco-friendly. But even after all this definitely eco-friendly type solutions, we still are going to recycle our waste: both ink and press solutions with the recycling.

The third way of do recycling in the printing business is to actually recycle your plates. All of our plates are made of aluminum, so what we do is after we’re done using them, either waste plates or natural print jobs that we would not reprint, those plates are then save banded and saved to recycle. And then we get money back from the aluminum of those plates, and in that way it certainly doesn’t go into the landfills.

There’s no true definition of green printing, that’s one of the things I guess the industry is struggling with. The sure of what we do is that we are trying to basically reduce our footprint on the environment and by doing that we feel like we are doing what we can as a medium sized printing company to help our customers, help our environment and help future generations.

This is the third video on green printing. You can see the others on the internet. This is The Odee Company and you can reach us on the internet at www.odeecompany.com.
