Let's Keep It Green

With more and more companies becoming green, Speedpro Imaging of Greater Atlanta are also taking steps to becoming more GREEN!

Because our eco solvent inks aren't one of the friendliest-green inks (inks containing vegetable oil are), we've been taking steps in other departments to make up in our green efforts.

Recycling Banner/Media

We've recently found a local company, called Gorilla Sacks, that reused old and used banners, and turn them into purses and bags. They, then, sell the products online and at local consignment stores. Because they use vinyl banners are their material for the bags, the bags are more durable and versatile. Check out some of the samples we received from them.

Recycling Trade Show Displays

During a visit this Spring, we met a new supplier for trade show displays. After much talking and questioning, we found out that they have a service to recycle old metal trade show displays. They metal down the old trade shows and reuse the aluminum to make other products. The aluminum alloy used in their trade show displays are made with 15% recycled content and are 100% recyclable.

Recyclable Substrates

Recently our substrate suppliers have also seen the need in biodegradable substrates. What does this mean? Once you're done with your mounted image, you can just throw it away. Not like the traditional substrates made from PVC, these substrates won't take as long to break down into the environment.

Steps like theses are just some of the ways Speedpro Imaging of Greater Atlanta is taking on being environmentally friendly. "With global warming and pollution on the raise, I want my future generation to experience what I've experienced," stated Stephanie Bailey, Speedpro's Marketing Associate.
