It's never too late to consider employing sustainability initiatives in your facility--whether that means pursuing Sustainable Green Printing (SGP) Partnership certification or merely streamlining your processes and creating marketing opportunities for an eco-conscious print-buying community. Sustainability Studies in Print examines five printers (three litho/digital printers, one flexographic printer, and one screen printer) who were among the first to achieve SGP certification. Readers will learn from the experiences of Alcom, Global Packaging, Monroe Litho, SunDance Marketing Solutions, and T-Formation as they reveal the strategies and results that come from employing sustainable practices in their operations.

The case studies examine:

• The best place to start
• Approaches that yielded the best results
• Various obstacles and how they were overcome
• The costs and benefits of various sustainability initiatives
• Shifts in company culture
• Resources that helped printers achieve certification
• How certified printers are marketing themselves
• Surprises along the way
