Understanding the impact we have on the environment is a vital part of every decision and process at National Print Group, Inc.

So often when one thinks green, they think of recycling. That’s just the beginning of our environmental initiatives here at National Print Group, Inc. Our commitment to the environment includes recycling materials such as paper, wood pallets, styrene and aluminum plates. In addition to recycling efforts, many of the presses at National Print Group, Inc. use UV inks, which are VOC free and dry instantly.

National Print Group, Inc. makes every effort to promote continuous improvement in all areas of environmental stewardship. We are constantly evaluating alternative materials, inks and processes that will minimize our impact on the environment.

Every ton counts and we’re counting. Over a year’s time, National Print Group, Inc. recycles approximately 305 tons of corrugated cardboard and 1,917 tons of paper. Recycling the paper alone saves 32,589 trees, 6,326 cubic yards of landfill space and 13,419,000 gallons of water.

Numerous clients are continuing our environmental efforts by recycling their printed materials after use. Some clients have even found truly creative uses for recycled billboard material, including items such as shopping bags and purses. Other clients return the billboards to National Print Group, Inc. to be recycled.

Still other clients are dedicated to utilizing recycled materials as substrates for their promotional and printed products. One such client requested a green friendly option for printed banners. National Print Group, Inc. provides several options utilizing environmentally friendly materials such as BIOflex, the first environmentally friendly, biodegradable PVC, and Duraplast, a 100% biodegradable and recyclable foam board, just to name a few.

What began with recycling efforts has expanded to include evaluations of all areas to increase energy efficiencies. National Print Group, Inc.’s management and employees are acting today so that our dedication to environmental responsibility will be protecting tomorrow.
