UNT First to Earn In-Plant Sustainable, Green Certification

Over the past year, UNT Printing and Distribution Solutions has reduced the carbon footprint of its press operations by more than 60 percent. The operation’s sustainability efforts include:

• Upgrading and replacing two presses with a newer, more energy efficient Ryobi 755.
• Replacing six toner-based machines with two machines that are 35 percent more energy efficient.
• Using tap water rather than chemicals to process printing plates.
• Purchasing paper with a high percentage of recycled fiber and forestry stewardship certification.
• Using soy- and vegetable-based inks.
• Using environmentally safe cleaning products for the press.
• Eliminating machines that required large amounts of energy and excessive cleaning solvents.

The In-plant Sustainable & Green (IPSG) program was developed by TNT Sustainable Business Solutions, LLC in 2010. For more information about In-Plant Sustainable and Green certification, contact Tom Tozier.
