Our green policy
Hummingbird Print’s name reflects our passion for the environment and everything in it as well as the quality of our printing. We continually strive to make responsible choices that will help sustain and preserve our land, trees, sky but the most important of all is PEOPLE.
Paper Offered includes FSC certified stocks
As a printing company, paper is our most used resource and to this end we educate and encourage clients to buy FSC paper. Suppliers are either Green Seal Certified, FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) or SLI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) certified. This certification provides assurance of social and environmental responsibility through the manufacturing process.
Hummingbird’s paper meets these standards:
Recycled Content: 100% recycled paper is available for both color and black & white printing. Hummingbird’s color paper used in black & white printing has 30% post-consumer content, and we offer a wide variety of optional paper that meets EPA recycling guidelines.
How digital printing supports the environment
- Reduced paper waste: print only what you need
- Higher returns on fewer pieces: leverage variable data capabilities
- Reduced make-ready and change-over waste
When compared to other printing options, Hummingbird Print is an environmentally friendly solution. By submitting documents from your desktop and using our online proofing and ordering system, customers avoid multiple trips to printing facilities and the wasted paper that comes from mistakes and overstocks.
Environmental audits at our Facilities:
Our facilities are audited for energy consumption, toxins, chemicals, materials, supply chain, and employee practices.
Digital Color Presses
Our Color Presses are designed to lessen their environmental impact. Many recycled materials are used in manufacturing, and the mainframes, accessories and replacements parts are designed to be remanufactured or recycled.
The presses run with virtually no emissions, do not use or generate any harmful compounds, require no hazardous waste removal, and consume a low amount of energy.
All toner cartridges and machine parts are returned to suppliers for recycling.
