Menu Environment Being a socially responsible company, Livonia Print has always focused on environmental issues and invested a great deal of work, time and finances in sustainability. Our environmental policy is based on Nordic Ecolabel and EU Ecolabel criteria. At Livonia Print: we improve our waste management. During 2016 we have managed to increase recycled waste amount to almost 97% and the amount of unsorted waste according to ratio has been decreased to 3%. we reduce energy consumption. During 2015 and 2016 1054 fluorescent bulbs were replaced with LED bulbs which resulted in saved energy consumption 296,59 MWh per year. we use environmentally friendly products. About 90% of our chemicals are approved by Nordic Ecolabel, and about 80% of our chemicals are in compliance with EU Ecolabel criteria. In 2016 in connection with Nordic Swan label we changed cobalt containing inks to cobalt-free inks. These changes were necessary because of the Nordic Swan new requirements – inks used for Nordic Swan labelled books cannot contain cobalt driers (cobalt driers are CMR classified). These changes also apply to the EU Ecolabel because cobalt-free inks suit for both our environmental certificates and are less harmful for human health and the environment. we invest in the most modern equipment. Our new printing presses use less energy, less paper for make-ready, have automatic pumping systems, waste less ink and washing agents. we reduce our VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) levels. About 65% of our washing agents are regenerated. we use a lot of FSC certified paper to produce our books, in this way we ensure that the forests used in paper production are managed in a sustainable way. we instruct all our staff and monitor that our strict environmental guidelines are met. Our goals for the future are: to create a plan for reduction of energy consumption. to continue to improve waste management: - to improve the overall quality of waste sorting; - to improve general understanding of waste sorting among our employees; - to develop a plan for waste minimization, in order to reduce the total amount of waste in all stages of production; - to increase the recycled waste amount till 98% and to decrease the amount of unsorted waste till 2%.
