What does Signature Announcements do to Go Green?
Signature Announcements uses vendors whose
paper and ink products comply with the
environmental laws, regulations and requirements.
Our paper suppliers have pledged to reduce their environmental footprint and to manage the intake of natural resources. Below are some of the ways the paper companies ensure their facilities are making the least carbon footprint possible

WIND POWER
The electricity usage is offset by purchasing
Renewable Energy Certificates that are used
for wind power projects to support use of
non-polluting wind-generated electricity.
CARBON NEUTRAL
The thermal energy usage to produce many of
the grades of paper is offset through buying
carbon credits that fund renewable energy or
emission-reduction projects.
ECF - ELEMENTAL CHLORINE FREE
This type of paper is produced from
fibers using alternative compounds as a
substitute for elemental chlorine.
Eliminating the elemental chlorine
reduces harmful by-products.
PCF - PROCESS CHLORINE FREE
This type of paper is produced from
recycled fibers that were processed
without the use of any additional
chlorine or compounds.
PAPER ISN'T THE ONLY PROCESS DEDICATED TO REDUCING WASTE - SO ARE OUR PRINTERS!
Some printers in our facility use solid ink instead of laser printing. This alone brings our total
waste down from 223 pounds in 4 years, to just 19 pounds!*
*Total waste produced from printing 4,000 sheets per month for 4 years.
The FSC products that are produced originate only from forests that are managed in accordance with their principals and criteria.
WOOD
The pine lumber that is used for Signature Announcements products is
commonly known as plantation wood. This plantation wood is only used to
grow native species of wood to North America.
FARM AREA The lumber company owns a total of six farms which equal a total area of nearly 4,000 acres. 64% of this total area is preserved with native tree species. The National Forestry Service require that any company who cuts down trees must plant 3 trees for every 1 cut. Our supplier has been adhering to this standard for over 13 years.
TREATMENT SYSTEMS Our supplier uses a water treatment system to use on all raw materials to produce the moldings to make our diploma frames. This minimizes the emission of pollutants in the air as well as preserving the environment.
