The Benefits of Green Printing

The benefits of going green are abundant. By choosing Herron Printing, you’re sending a powerful message to your clients that you are doing your part to protect the environment. Our 100% wind-powered business helps promote clean air and the conservation of energy, trees, and water. We use only vegetable-based inks and offer a large variety of recycled papers. These methods reduce landfill waste and our carbon footprint, all while reducing costs passed on to you, the consumer.

Our Green Printing Methods

We are proud of our commitment to the earth, and as the Mid-Atlantic’s first Green-E Certified printer, we are continually striving for new and innovative ways to uphold that distinction. For this reason, we participate in an extensive recycling program and ensure that all of our printing is entirely water- and chemical-free. Even our delivery routes are designed as efficiently as possible, with the environmental impact in mind.
At Herron Printing & Graphics, our green printing methods include the following:

    • We proudly power our operation with 100 percent wind energy operation. Although the energy cost is higher than energy produced with carbon-based fuels, it is a step toward reducing dependence on petroleum.
    • Virtually 100 percent of our paper purchases are from paper companies that harvest trees from decades-old tree farms specifically planted, harvested, and replanted to provide an ongoing source of non-public paper pulp.
    • We recycle tons and tons of paper every month. Frankly, it is a lot of work and effort, but we believe it to be a very valuable endeavor.
    • We use recycled papers whenever possible, and encourage others to do the same. All of our house sheets are at least 10 percent recycled content.
    • We use inks and toners that are recyclable.
    • We use chemicals and solvents that are almost 100 percent water-soluble, bio-degradable, and recyclable. They may be more expensive, but we consider them a wise investment.
    • We have implemented programs to reduce our electrical consumption and to minimize the usage of all raw materials.
