Minimizing our Environmental Impact

      Conserving natural resources and being responsible stewards of the land we inhabit are practices that M&D Printing embraces. Our goal is to minimize our environmental footprint in every facet of our operation. M&D Printing captures a number of waste streams and recycles almost 100% of its by-product. The scope of M&D Printing's Waste Management Program includes the collection of office waste, by-product, ink, solvents, aluminum, and film. The annual environmental benefits resulting from our calendar year 2007 recovery activities include:

Environmental Impact Annual Savings

24,072 Trees SAVED!

4,673 Cubic Yards of Landfill Space SAVED!

389,400 Pounds of Sulfur SAVED!

495,600 Pounds of Limestone SAVED!

12,744,000 Pounds of Steam SAVED!

84,960,000 Gallons of Water SAVED!

318,600 Kilowatt Hours of Electricity SAVED!

      M&D Printing utilizes recovery systems to capture any heavy metals from our film processing rinse water. This process goes beyond City, State, and Federal guidelines and further ensures a safe & healthy environment "downstream".

      M&D Printing also utilizes recycled materials in its manufacturing process whenever possible through the use of recycled black ink. Our other primary colors are formulated from soy oil, and other oils derived from corn products.

      M&D Printing continues to research and implement environmentally safe practices and products. We are proud of our Waste Management Program and its positive impact on our earth.
