Green Policy
BREATHE EASY
CLEANER AIR
Our DynaPaq, Inc. source plant partner voluntarily tracks VOC emissions monthly, going above and
beyond DNR requirements. The monitoring and tracking of air emissions allows them to not only
ensure EPA and DNR compliance, but to set a benchmark for lower emission goals each year.
USING OUR NATURAL RESOURCES
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Renewable energy is here to stay, and we are excited to be part of it. Our DynaPaq, Inc. source plant
partner is a Champion Member of the NatureWise program through Wisconsin Public Service. WPS
uses the money from the NatureWise program to maintain renewable energy resources, as well as to
pursue new renewable energy opportunities.
BACK TO THE BASICS —
REDUCE/REUSE/RECYCLE






DynaPaq, Inc. source plant partner is committed to reducing waste up front, reusing materials when
possible, and recycling what we can at our facility. In this effort:
All scrap metal is collected for salvage
Florescent lights are disposed of in a safe manner, applicable portions are recycled
Computers and electronics are either safely recycled, or donated
Skids are recycled
Silver that is recovered from Plating Process is recycled
Tens of thousands of pounds of plastics, cardboard, aluminum and paper are recycled each year.
THE BIG “C”
CARBON FOOTPRINT



Transportation is a major contributor to Carbon in the atmosphere. Our DynaPaq, Inc. source plant
partner has greatly reduced the carbon footprint due to our operations by:
Purchasing materials locally
Recycling materials locally
Utilizing a shipping company that follows the EPA SmartWay Program. The SmartWay Program
educates shipping companies on best environmental practices, and tracks their processes to ensure
proper maintenance of the program
PROTECTING OUR WORLD
WATER
Silver that is leached from the plate and film process is collected in a silver recovery unit. The unit is
checked and the waste stream beneath it is monitored regularly. Our DynaPaq, Inc. source plant
partner continues to be in compliance with our local regulators of wastewater discharge.
DEFINITIONS
VOC (Volatile organic compounds)
Our DynaPaq, Inc. source plant partner primarily runs a UV process. UV inks and coatings have
insignificant amounts of VOCs. A VOC is a chemical compound that has high enough vapor pressures
under normal conditions to significantly vaporize and enter the atmosphere. Although ubiquitous in
nature and modern industrial society, they may also be harmful or toxic. VOCs, or subsets of VOCs,
are often regulated.
DNR
Department of Natural Resources.
See http://dnr.wi.gov/ for more information.
NatureWise
A Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) program that offers renewable energy from wind and biomass. It is
an investment that demonstrates commitment to clean, safe energy — and makes the most of the
environment.
Recycling Benefits
Recycling the listed materials does more than just save on landfill space. By recycling plastics, paper
and aluminum, the manufacturing from virgin materials was avoided, which in turn, conserves natural
resources.
Carbon Footprint
The total set of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions caused by an organization, event or product. For
simplicity of reporting, it is often expressed in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2), or the
equivalent of other GHGs, emitted.
