Pacific Bindery is the only bindery and finishing organization in British Columbia to be CleanPrint BC-certified.  We were committed to this program some years ago and were pleased to achieve our certification.  Today, the CleanPrint BC program has been halted by lack of funding however the print industry organizations that were certified through the process were pioneers of what is now known as the sustainability movement.

CleanPrint BC is a non-profit partnership comprised of members of the printing industry, including printers and suppliers, as well as representatives from municipal, provincial, and federal governments. The ultimate goal of CleanPrint BC is to support improved environmental management practices in BC’s flexography, screen and offset printing operations. The result is improved protection of the environment and human health while maintaining economic competitiveness. The CleanPrint BC strategy is to develop and provide printers with the tools they need to prepare and support site-specific environmental management plans. Printers, which complete the Environmental Management Plan (EMP), also follow the Best Management Practices (BMP) developed by CleanPrint BC.

Here at Pacific Bindery, we pledge to protect the environment by supporting CleanPrint BC initiatives, following best management practices and promoting an environmental management system as a tool to better control waste and pollution.
