Sustainability

At Webcrafters, we've been incorporating sustainability into our processes for years. In fact, our efforts started way back in 1960. Today, we make every effort to improve our environmental impact, from minor details to major changes.

Here's what we're doing right now:

  • Retro-fitting warehouse lighting with occupancy sensors to save electricity and bulbs
  • Evaluating sub-metering equipment with networking capabilities on our main distribution panels
  • Refining our training program for the paper certification team
  • Attending Sustain Dane Organization meetings to learn best practices from our peers
  • Continuing our bike-to-work and ride share programs

Webcrafters, Inc. is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). No matter which sustainable forestry certification you use, we can help you publish with certified papers.
