At PSA, we use technology to serve our customers’ needs as well as the needs of the environment. We are committed to conservation and preservation of our environment. To help us reach this goal PSA conducts business only with companies who are equally as committed to the common goal.

The following programs demonstrate our dedication to recycling, air quality and efficient use of resources.

RECYCLING EFFORTS:

Unused forms

Scrap paper

Office paper waste

All manufacturing waste

Corrugated cardboard, aluminum and soft drink bottles

Plastic and metal used for storage & packaging

Plastic toner bottles are retuned to the manufacturer for reuse

Inks removed and recycled

Solvents, oils and lubricants disposed according to state law

Re-circulates heat generated from press

Rags with solvents (less VOC emissions)

EPA COMPLIANCE:

We meet and in many cases exceed stringent EPA and OSHA standards. Where appropriate, we retain Environmental Consultants who are experts in the area of environmental protection.

The State of Illinois has created a program designed to give businesses an incentive to reduce emissions.  PSA Cards has reduced our VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions in addition to 82% of our HAP (Hazardous Air Pollutants).  We have implemented a hazardous material program which requires us to purchase a haz/mat vacuum, spill rags and spill containment tubes. In the event of an incident this will minimize the affects on the employees as well as the environment.

Members in PSA’s Galileo Network are members of the Emission Reduction Program. Throughout the facilities we promote conservation, recycling and efficient use of energy. We are committed to minimizing the impact on the environment and to reduce operating waste.
