Go Green with Greenridge
At The Greenridge Group we are continuously improving our operations to reduce our impact on the environment.
From the products we use to our energy usage, we are constantly choosing better alternatives that still offer the high quality results our customers expect.
Inks and Chemicals
- The ink used in our presses are the most environmentally friendly and sustainable available
- We have removed the use of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content in our pressrooms, which are carbon-based chemicals which result in different health effects and can poorly affect air quality when used
- By switching to Computer-to-Plate printing plate systems, we have phased out the use of toxic chemicals and bi-cromates typically used in our previous film-based plate making methods

Energy and Water Efficiency
