About Us > WE
ARE GREEN

"Any truly successful company is measured by the positive impact it leaves
on the community and people it serves."
Bay State Envelope has always been concerned
with our "Carbon Footprint" and our impact on the environment.
We recently were awarded the
FSC
Certification and for years, we have been recognized for our
commitment to these "Green Operation Principles":
 |
We recycle all unused and scrap paper
|
 |
Our Ink Doser machine reduces ink waste by 80%
|
 |
Our facilities and vehicles use energy efficient lighting and fuels
|
 |
We print on a high percentage of recycled paper products
|
 |
We choose eco-friendly vendors and suppliers
|
|
|
Certification and Justification |
|
|

FSC Certification: To
assure the credibility of claims on products, it is important to
track materials as they leave the forest and become products down
stream.
This “chain of custody” (COC) certification process is as
follows: Like any inventory control system, COC allows products to
be segregated and identified as having come from a particular
source—in this case, an FSC-certified forest.

Biodegradable Window Film
We use biodegradable film in the
windows of our Business Envelopes.
These windows are made of materials
that are completely biodegradable, which will break down
completely in a landfill. Examples are glassine, PLA and cellulose
acetate films and clear wood pulp products.

Green-e Certified
Green-e is the most widely recognized renewable energy
certification program and when we use Green-e certified paper or
envelopes we contribute to the minimization of greenhouse gasses.
Wind power is perhaps the safest and fastest growing form of
renewable energy and provides a tangible method that manufacturers
and distributors can use to help reduce the introduction of carbon
dioxide into the environment.
Use of these products is a way to support paper companies and
envelope companies that have made the financial commitment to use
renewable energy and reduce pollutants.
The Green-e logo may only be printed onto a paper or envelope
product that has been designated as a Green-e certified product by
its manufacturer.
