MCRL is committed to sourcing materials and producing products with the least environmental impact possible.
Our printing processes and facilities are ISO certified. We are regularly audited and inspected to ensure environmental compliance.
Our local and overseas teams only work with suppliers who adhere to the strict FDA requirements for safety in our printing and packaging.
MCRL only prints with safe, soy ink.
Soy-based ink is better for humans and the environment than phthalate and lead-based inks. Soy ink also offers a more vibrant color and is often less expensive than petroleum inks. Head over here for more info on the benefits of soy-based ink.
We highly recommend our clients consider the following eco-friendly material options.
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified Paper
MCRL Overseas Group encourages clients to print on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified Paper stock. FSC certification means materials are harvested and manufactured in a sustainable manner from responsibly managed forests, meeting the highest environmental and social standards.
Tree-less Paper
In an effort to protect our forests, MCRL recommends using bamboo paper stock. Bamboo paper is used increasingly by consumers because the carbon footprint is smaller than paper made from wood pulp. Bamboo paper is also comparable in strength, brightness and printability to standard paper. For more reasons to choose bamboo paper, click here.Recycled Koehler Paper and Board
