SunDance is dedicated to being responsible stewards of our global ecosystem. Some of the many sustainability practices SunDance has adopted:
- Wherever possible, SunDance uses materials derived from renewable resources or with low environmental impact taking into account recycling and recovery efforts.
- When making investments in equipment, we always take into consideration their environmental impact.
- SunDance invested in a solvent recycler that recycles a majority of the solvent we use (1,027 gallons recycled in 2020). Recycling solvent on-site helps us protect scarce natural resources and reduces our environmental impact by allowing us to purchase less new solvent and produce less waste.
- We use low VOC solvents and vegetable-based inks.
- SunDance recycles 100% of our production paper waste and aluminium printing plates.
- The most eco-friendly practices start with consuming only what is necessary. We track the usage of raw materials, making a concerted effort to reduce consumption.
- We’ve innovated ways to reduce the time it takes to get our offset press ready for production by one third, less makeready means using much less paper, ink and solvents, further reducing our carbon footprint.
- SunDance is committed to continual improvement. We have teams that meet periodically to discuss and access ways to improve and streamline our internal processes. With each improvement, we strive to use less resources, recycle more materials, or produce less waste,
- By offering digital printing, SunDance gives our customers the ability to print exactly what they need when they need it most. This not only reduces the amount of waste due to the obsolescence of printed materials, but it gives customers the ability to ensure they are using the most up-to-date materials. In addition, digital printing uses less paper, ink and energy. But don’t take our word for it, respected organizations have certified us as environmental stewards.
- SunDance has also attained Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certification. This organization sets high standards to ensure forestry is practiced in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial and economically viable way. Certified paper products flow through a certified chain of custody from certified forests to the paper manufacturer, merchant, and printer.
