Key Efforts

• Manufacturing waste - all of Label World's waste from office and production are used to generate energy from incineration. This will save 250 tons of waste from going to landfill this year.
• Energy reduction - Label World has a variety of efforts to reduce the amount of energy and water needed to produce 1,000 ft of salable product. Since 2008 natural gas consumption has declined by 40%, water by 28% and electricity by 9%. Some higlights:

                              ♦  Reduce plant lighting costs by 50% by changing to energy efficient T5 lighting

                              ♦  Change out traditional hot water heater to instant hot water.

• Energy credits - Label World now offsets 100% of its electric and natural gas consumption with renewable energy credits for wind power through Renewable Choice Energy. This year we will save approximately 612 tons of CO2 emissions through this program.
• Reduce packaging - Label World has worked with selected customers to eliminate corrugated cartons in its packaging by supplying final product in reusable plastic totes or bulk pack on pallets.
• Liner recycling - did you know that you can recycle unbleached kraft liners through your existing corrugated recycling stream? We just helped a major customer start recycling 2 billion square inches of liner material per year by switching to unbleached kraft liner. You can also easily recycle PET liner.
