Follow on Google News | The Label Printers Begins Major Project for L.I.F.E. “Green” CertificationThe Label Printers kicks off their Solid Waste Reduction project – the company’s next step in achieving TLMI’s Label Initiative For the Environment (L.I.F.E.) “Green” Certification.
The Label Printers’ L.I.F.E. team (Mr. Tommasi, Gina Ries, Matt Slaughter, and Dawn Tesch) have been working since May to choose their project, put their stake in the ground, and establish their goal. The team analyzed and sorted their solid waste into 3 categories: recyclable, waste to energy (fuel pellets), and unrecyclable solid waste (landfill). They have written a Sustainability Manual which they have submitted, along with their certification materials, to T.L.M.I. for evaluation by the L.I.F.E. team, and are preparing for the L.I.F.E. program’s Desk Audit – which will occur sometime early in 2011. The last step in the process will be a Site Audit in the spring of 2011. TLMI/L.I.F.E. has partnered with NSF International, The Public Health and Safety Company™, for these audits. “Being ‘green’ is a no-brainer,” The Label Printers is a leading custom label and packaging manufacturer, serving a widely diverse customer base around the globe – ranging from Fortune 100 to start-up businesses.
