LA In-plant Makes a Change for the Greener
The Back Story
Long before sustainability came into vogue, Reprographics was a fairly typical in-plant, says Kenton.
“Ten years ago, Reprographics ran two full shifts with 21 employees, running 80 percent of the work on offset presses,” she says. “At that time, LACOE stocked a very large supply of NCR forms in its warehouse. Reprographics printed and packaged those forms on a regular basis.”
