CORE Communications

Bending the Curve Towards Sustainability

CORE — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 23:06:36 +0000

There are “green” printers, and then there is CORE Communications.
Many printers claim to be a “green” printer, but we take the concept to a much higher level. We maintain a comprehensive and innovative program that brings true sustainability factors into our practices:
Completely environmentally friendly production path. We have the ability to offer our customers products that are environmentally friendly throughout all stages of production, including papers, inks, energy consumption, chemical-free plating process and environmentally friendly UV coating.
Program Accountability. CORE was the first FSC-certified printer in the Northwest, ensuring that paper stocks that have come from sustainable foresters are available to our clients. Other sustainable partnerships include:

SmartWood Membership
Oregon Natural Step Membership
Sustainable Forestry Initiative Membership
Champion-Level Blue Sky Partner

Reporting on how your print project helped our environment. When our customers take advantage of our environmentally friendly production process, we are able to provide them with a report that measures all of the ways that our environment has been positively impacted by their choices.
Whether you are interested in our company’s endeavor to be truly “green” or our tools and abilities to help you maximize your company’s full potential, CORE Communications is here to partner with your company and help you grow and sustain your business.
