Environment

A healthy environment is the responsibility of each of us. The last decades have seen many negative changes in the environment and we must work together to reverse the negative trends so that the future is secure for our children and grandchildren.

At KAYJON we’re dedicated to minimizing our impact on the environment. Our inks are the most eco-friendly available, containing no more than 5% VOCs, a minimum of 45% of renewable resource content, and no more than 5% by weight of petroleum distillates.

All materials utilized in the KAYJON plant are neutralized and disposed of properly. We are FSC certified to be able to offer you this exciting option in managed forest products. We regularly encourage our customers to use recycled paper.

People tend to assume that pixels are greener than printing but the opposite is true. The argument in favour of pixels fails to recognize how much energy is consumed running data centers, home computers and cooling units compared to the amount of energy consumed by the pulp and paper industry. Paper is recycled five times more efficiently and is a renewable resource, while computers choke landfills with their dangerous metals and toxic chemicals for hundreds of years.

Note: International Paper has attempted to clear up some of the myths and misconceptions about paper and the forest products industry in a series of documents entitled “Down to Earth.” They can be accessed by clicking here.
