You may not know but bindery has many unique recycling challenges; think of all the paper, plastic and metal strapping, plastic skid wrapping and containers that are used. For example, because Pacific Bindery Services is at the end of the printing production chain, it ends up with printers’ well-used wooden skids.

At Pacific Bindery Services, we have a commitment to reduce the environmental impacts of our business activities. We believe we have a responsibility for effectively handling and disposing of the resources we’re using; in a sustainable way. This responsibility is often more significant for businesses, since business’ impact on the environment is large.

The protection of our environment is important to us because we are firmly committed to sustainable practices that

• enable us to be environmental leaders;
• minimize waste and reduce impact on landfill;
• recycle all possible materials;
• source environmentally friendly products to use in our process (for example, biodegradable shrink wrap film).
