Rush Press is proud to announce that we are FSC Certified and can print using the FSC logo along with the Rainforest Alliance Certified logo.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), along with the Rainforest Alliance promotes environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world's forests. Paper mills are now producing in a much more eco-friendly manner, including alternative power sources and fewer chemicals. This "green" paper is FSC certified and the logos can only appear as an environmental claim when printed by an FSC Certified printer.
Rush Press will act on your behalf to ensure that all your green printing projects meet the necessary requirements to carry the FSC seal. Talk with your Rush Press sales professional to learn more about this progressive program and how we can help you to meet your "green" goals as an environmentally sensitive, responsible organization.
In addition, Rush Press engages in an eco-friendly approach to manufacturing and recycling, including:
- Recycling all paper scraps
- Recycling unused inks
- Recycling press plates
- Recycling plastic materials, such as shrink wrap
- Use of soy and vegetable-based inks
- Use of alcohol-free press fountain solutions
- Use of low volatile organic compound solvents (VOC)
- Use of CTP plate setter, which eliminates the need for film which contains silver and mercury contaminants
