1). FSC Certification (COC 002105)
The Forest Stewardship Council is a non-profit organization founded in 1993. They are devoted to encouraging responsible management of the world’s forests through balancing environmental, economic, and social considerations, with the emphasis on conservation. They have established international standards for responsible forestry. Forests can, and should be renewable resources.

Your purchase of FSC-certified paper and print products contributes to conservation, responsible management and community level benefits for people and animals that are near the forests that provide your paper. FSC is not only concerned with the forests, but the communities surrounding them.

FSC Chain-of-custody certification is the documentation of the flow of fiber that is made into paper from the forests, to paper manufacturer, to paper merchant and to the printer who has FSC COC certification.

2). Energy Cooperation of New York – Green Power Electric Program
Snyder Printer is officially “off the grid”. With the purchase of 100% renewable energy, we are reducing the production of Nitrogen Oxide, Sulfur Oxide and Carbon dioxide, all dangerous ingredients to the environment and people’s health. We are utilizing wind power as well as biomass energy, which, in this program, is landfill methane fired electricity. Not only are we investing in the future of wind power, but also helping to utilize the resources that are stockpiled in our landfills.

3). Our printing process At Snyder Printer, we print all of our materials using the Staccato screening process. This greatly reduced printing dot size allows for less consumption of ink, therefore creating less waste.

No landfill waste is created through our printing process. We recycle all chemistry, plates, ink and paper. Due to the costs associated with recycling chemistry and inks, many companies choose to dispose of these products in landfills…we do not believe that is in the best interest of the environment.

We continually strive to reduce the emissions from our printing process. We continue to lower our level of VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds). Snyder Printer has proudly been a member of OSHA SHARP for the last ten years! This means that we meet or exceed all of the OSHA regulations for health and safety. We are one of three printers in all of New York to earn this recognition.

4). Our Printing Inks
Our 908 BIO Series inks are a soy/vegetable based ink. The “Bio” means that this product is made from 100% natural raw materials. It is as environmentally friendly as you can get.

5). Internal Recycling
At Snyder Printer, we have an extensive internal recycling program. We recycle all office paper, plastic bottles, grocery bags, batteries, light bulbs etc. We also have a no paper products program in place for our cafeteria.
