DPRINT receives recognition from the Sustainable Green Printing Partnership
SGP, the Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP) is the foremost authority on sustainable printing practices and certifications for print manufacturers. In the last year, the SGP implemented a new program, the SGP Impact Tracker, to measure the sustainability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of SGP certified printers. The SGP Impact Tracker helps SGP certified facilities monitor and maintain their sustainability performance. It’s an invaluable tool for businesses dedicated to sustainability and working with sustainable partners, vendors, and suppliers.
At DPRINT, we’re a proud, woman-owned, environmentally responsible, print-on-demand manufacturer of decals, auto wraps and signage. Because we’ve long maintained sustainable business and printing practices, we take pride in joining the SGP. We uploaded our proven track record of relevant data dating back to 2012 to the SGP Impact Tracker. In addition to the impact they have on the earth, and present and future generations, these accomplishments provide significant cost savings at our Florida facility. Those savings allow us to offer best pricing practices to our clients. Those accomplishments include:
- 34% reduction in VOCs
- 21% reduction in water waste
- 33% reduction in total waste
- 14% reduction in energy consumption
- 36% reduction in natural gas consumption
We’re a multi-technology graphic communications company with a worldwide clientele. Our Lakeland, Florida production facility was one of the first to work with the latest inks, materials, equipment and processes. We were also among the first in our industry to implement digital design and print technologies and have been the recipients of more than sixty industry-wide awards for innovation and design.
DPRINT was also the first screen printing contractor to NASA – a working partnership of more than thirty years. We’re a top screen printer for the U.S. Government Printing Office, an industry leader in social and environmental responsibility, and Florida’s first SGP-certified digital and screen printing facility. Our commitment to social responsibility is evident in our Sustainability Policy. It’s three hallmarks are to protect and preserve the environment, to enhance our competitive advantages today, and to promote opportunity, equity and improved quality of life for our people.
We’re proud to be aligned with the SGP’s Impact Tracker which measures progress on mandatory improvement projects. Their yearly initiatives ensure SGP-certified facilities “deliver the most sustainable, profitable print solutions the industry has to offer”. With our collective future in mind, SGP printers create partnerships with suppliers that monetize recycling, integrate higher quality substrates and inks into the printing process, and reduce emissions, energy and water consumption. Due to these efforts, most SGP-certified facilities like DPRINT save as much as $43K each year while protecting the earth’s natural resources.
Our environmental responsibility promise means when you purchase printed products from DPRINT, you share in our commitment to protect and preserve the environment for future generations. The products you receive from us are produced in our SGP-certified, green printing facility. We also recycle many of the products we print. Our commitment to sustainable printing practices and processes is as important to us as our commitment to a Can Do! Customer service experience for our customers.
