University Lithoprinters

University Litho Print have identified sustainable initiatives and items within their product line that are available for purchase by the University.         

• Sustainable products/ service:
   
  • Products that you purchase from ULitho are produced with either vegetable based inks or dry ink toner that have multiple environmental benefits. ULitho has eliminated chemicals in their plate making process and their dry inks contain no hazardous UV coating chemicals (see Kodak Sustainable Future sheet).  ULitho can purchase stocks that are FSC or SFI certified and many of the other stocks that aren’t certified have some recycled content as well. Furthermore, ULitho recycles all scrap paper and aluminum plates.
     
• Sustainability Initiatives:
   
  • Corporate Sustainability Report
    • ULitho has implemented products and processes that are friendlier for the environment, collaborated with paper companies that are committed to green, shared knowledge with designers and clients, and invested in more sustainable technology (see Sustainability Statement for more).
  • Certifications
    • ULitho is both Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Sustainable Forestry Initiative Certified (SFI) (see ULitho FSC & SCI sheet for further description of certifications).
