MLI is joining the ranks of the progressive, environmentally responsible businesses as a Green Printer. Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) Chain of Custody initiative for MLI
Tampa, Florida.( June 30, 2008) MLI's environmental dedication has a long history based on making the best possible use of all resources and minimizing environmental impacts. The first step is to use resources as conventionally as possible. We were one of the first to use non-hazardous inks. We reuse or recycle all that is possible. As a final point, we evaluate materials that leave our plants for disposal, using recycling partners to benefit the environment.
Our long term approach makes perfect business sense, too. When business and environmental welfare happen together, it can be very productive. By not only dropping consumption of raw materials such as paper and ink, but by using certified products we reduce the amount of energy used.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes (PEFC) provide Chain of Custody certifications which are a integral part of sustainable business practices for MLI and our customers. By pursuing FSC, SFI and PEFC Chain of Custody standards, MLI provides assurance to our customers and their consumers that the fiber in their products has been traced from the forest to the finished product; which is not only reasonable but responsible.
