EGG HARBOR TWP, NJ, January 28, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In its continued effort to put in place steps to protect the environment, Print Art, Inc. has earned an official FSC certification through the Rainforest AllianceÕs SmartWood program.

While FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certifications are common among commercial printers, this particular FSC program is one of the most rigorous, requiring extensive audits and detailed annual reporting. The SmartWood program is in place to encourage companies to handle forest products, such as paper, responsibly, with minimal impact to the environment.

ÒThis is less about a certification and more about a dedication,Ó said Carl Blase, CEO. ÒWe are dedicated to improving our environmental footprint. ItÕs fashionable to say youÕre ÔgreenÕ for marketing purposes. But weÕve been doing it since we started, before it was fashionable. All of us here are working to preserve this earth for our children, and their childrenÑbecause itÕs the right thing to do.Ó

In addition to the recent FSC certification, Print Art recycles all metal plate materials, separates paper, bottles, and corrugated cardboard. In 2009, they installed an environmentally friendly washer for all press parts and the company exclusively uses low-voc vegetable-based inks on all projects.

ÒWe congratulate Print Art for successfully meeting the FSC Chain-of-Custody (CoC) certification standards,Ó said Dave Bubser, US Regional Manager for SmartWood. ÒWe appreciate their commitment to supporting important global assets like forest biodiversity through the use of FSC certified paper products.Ó
