Badger Tag & Label (Cont’d from Page 1) To address the company’s goal of reducing waste,Bad- ger instituted new procedures that include the use of a designated recycling dumpster for corrugated, paper trim and waste that is emptied and recycled six times annually and totals 252 yards of recycled material. Printer companies are surrounded by ways in which to reduce their environmental impact, but it takes a vigilant eye. With that in mind, Badger’s staff is on track to divert 3,000 pounds of single-use towels this year alone from landfills by introducing an initiative in which all of its printer rags are laun- dered for reuse. The company uses water-based inks in its flexo and digital presses to reduce the use of harsh solvents. Badger is 100 percent LED, focusing on the need to reduce energy consumption. At the original man- ufacturing plant, incandescent fixtures as well as T8 and T12 fluorescent fixtures were replaced with LED lights and, more recently, during construction of its new plant, LED lights were installed throughout the building. A new heating system complete with programmable thermostats and sensors were also added.
