Today, many companies make being “Green” a large part of their initiatives. Lake County Press, Inc. in Waukegan, IL is no exception. LCP is committed to environmental sustainability and the “Green” printing initiative thus we sought out and received Chain of Custody certification from 3 separate organizations; FSC, SFI and PEFC. Beyond that, we support the generation of clean energy in the U.S. by offsetting our annual electricity use. We have chosen renewable wind energy. That’s the equivalent of not driving your car 545,000 Miles!
We also aspire to be a zero landfill manufacturing facility. The chart below shows our 2009 contribution by keeping waste materials out of landfills.
These are the things that LCP does to be a responsible steward to the environment. However, beyond what we do we believe it is important to recognize our clients for their contributions to the environment as well.
For many years, LCP has provided print for Siemens Building Technologies (Headquartered in Buffalo Grove, IL.). About 2 years ago, Siemens began their own Green Initiatives for print collateral. Working together with LCP, Siemens transitioned 100% of their collateral that could be produced digitally to “Print-On-Demand”. The team of Marketing Professionals at Siemens in collaboration with LCP built a custom web ordering system for collateral users. Today more than 1000 site users can shop for marketing materials on an as needed basis. Materials are produced On-Demand and delivered to the users when they are needed. Siemens also chose to print this material on an FSC Certified, 100% post consumer waste, uncoated sheet.
Working together for a common goal, Siemens and LCP have been stewards of the environment and have brightened the future for the planet.
