Below we have outlined the different ways that we at T.S. Designs, Inc. help to minimize our environmental impact . Our attention to environmental detail started over ten years ago with the way we offered coffee to our employees and customers. For further detail, read below under the coffee . Not only does our landscaping technique save money on fertilizer and mowing costs, but we also manage a few strange looks from our neighbors. We have also relocated and lowered the lighting in the production area in order to control different areas in the plant during use.
Adhesives are critical in order to keep fabric in place when printing.
Solvent-based aerosol is standard in the textile screen print industry. We took a different path years ago and have developed a fully automatic water based glue system in which we buy the adhesive in bulk saving both solvents and non-reusable aerosol cans. We reuse our corrugated boxes as much as possible but in the event we cannot use them, they are recycled. Our basic recycling includes office paper, newspaper, and aluminum, plastic and glass containers. We have made special arrangements to recycle our larger metal drums, magazines, phone books and fl u orescent light bulbs.
