University of Arkansas In-plant Gets FSC Certified
Director Chuck Werninger felt it was important to demonstrate responsible stewardship, both to prospective students and to the community.
“I want to be able to say, if you’re going to print something, let’s do it responsibly,” says Werninger, adding, “I know it’s the right thing to do.”
The certification is just the latest step the 11-employee in-plant has taken toward environmental sustainability. The shop has a waterless press, a chemistry-free platemaker and a digital printer (an Océ VarioPrint 6250) that boasts very low energy consumption. The in-plant also has a very active recycling program.
