First ‘Green’ Job out the Door!

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Thanks to our good customers, and their commitment to the environment, we have officially shipped our first job using recycled materials!  Many customers have ASKED about recycled products, but one of you finally took the plunge and paid the small upcharge to run your labels on eco-friendly material.  Well done!

As more customers become aware of these options, and as the prices come down, we expect that green printing will become a redundant phrase - ALL printing will be green!

Recycling Old Electronics!

Monday, March 16th, 2009

Rose City Label continues to walk the green talk when it comes to reducing our waste.  We took advantage of the new free Oregon E-Cycling program which is offered by the DEQ.  This great program allows businesses and individuals to recycle old electronics at local Good Will donation sites.

This Goodwill trailer now accepts many types of Computer CPUs and Monitors, as well as TVs, all for free!

Of course all data was wiped from the hard drives by us prior to recycling, so none of our business or customer data was compromised.

Four old CPU Towers and Monitors, as well as a UPS power supply and assorted keyboards and mice were diverted from the landfill on this trip - thanks to Oregon E-Cycles for making it easy to be GREEN!

www.oregonecycles.org has all the details!

Thanks for contniuing to read and to support our efforts to be a more GREEN company!

Recycling Old Cutting Dies!

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

As part of our ongoing effort to keep our shop neat and organized, we recently cleared out some old, obsolete cutting dies to make room for new ones.  The old dies were recycled at a steel salvage facility, so none of our unused tooling ended up in landfill.  Keep checking back as we make more improvements to the shop!
