NORD’IMPRIM responds to the crisis by printing greener

A dynamic on the environment
- Wastes are a priority for printers.
Nord’Imprim started by launching sophisticated selective sorting of wastes throughout the enterprise.  These wastes are now recycled, processed, and used to generate value. An employee each day ensures the respect of the rules, verifies the tracking and the nearby treatment of wastes.

- Nord’Imprim decides to consume differently.
When buying a product, Nord’Imprim takes into account the method of production, the origin of the product and the distance needed to deliver it. In July 2009, the printer decided to replace its entire stock of paper with a new paper: Satimat Green, 60% recycled and 40% FSC, produced within 30 km of the enterprise.
It imposes this paper on all its customers and thus creates a “green” dynamic with customers by raising awareness about the initiative. Nord'Imprim works in close partnership with Arjo Wiggins, the supplier of Satimat Green. In 2011, it was the first and only printer to impose this type of paper on its customers. Nord’Imprim serves as a showcase and model for paper manufacturers.

- The enterprise invested in two new Offset machines in 2010. These machines consume eight times less water and chemical products. It is also committed to using few toxic products: inks and varnish are all plant-based.

- In 2010, a Carbon Report was published covering everything from the paper pulp to delivery to the end customer.

All employees are invested in this approach and commit to leaving no traces on the paper or on the environment. The integration and well-being of each individual contribute to make this a dynamic initiative for the enterprise.
