FSC Certification: 'A Good Investment'
"We wanted to do our part to be responsible stewards of the world's timber, but also participate in our [university's] sustainability program," explains Bill May, director of Printing Services at the University of Alabama, in Tuscaloosa.
Getting FSC certified became simpler a few years ago when Printers Green Resource LLC launched its InGreen group certification program for in-plants. So far 22 in-plants—including Yale, UC Davis and the University of Alabama—have taken advantage of the program, which allows U.S. in-plants with annual print sales of less than $5 million to get FSC certified for a much lower rate.
