Did you know that most printing inks in use today consist mainly of petroleum bases which emit polluting, volatile organic compounds (VOC's) into the atmosphere as they dry? Fortunately, a very good alternative does exist at Crush Media. Printing inks made primarily from vegetable oils produce excellent results. Soy inks often contain less than 1% VOC's and are more easily removed from printed material during the de-inking phase of the recycling process. Here at Crush Media we are using soy base ink only, another way to commit to the environment.

	BioGas The Paper manufacturing process uses the gas generated from the decomposition of waste buried in a landfill. This green energy   helps to considerably reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
	EcoLogo Certification mark emitted by the Environmental Choice Program of Environment Canada that identifies ecological products. Required criteria are green-house gas emissions, water and energy resources consumption and use of recycled fiber.
	Processed Chemical Free Certification mark of the Chlorine Free Product Association (CFPA) that identifies that no chlorine or chlorine compounds were used in the papermaking process.
	Recycled Post-Consumer Indicates that the product contains recycled materials that have been consumed and decontaminated to be reintroduced in the manufacturing process of a new product. The percentage under the sign indicates the proportion of recycled post-consumer fiber included.
