Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWire) -- 07/30/2013 --PlanIt Green, a new program from premier banner maker AAA Flag & Banner, sets a higher standard for environmentally friendly printing and manufacturing practices. In the past decade, the printing industry has made the proper disposal of potentially toxic paints and dyes a top priority. PlanIt Green makes going green even easier for clients of all sizes. New water-based inks, U.V. inks and odor-free, biodegradable latex inks can replace solvent-based products while delivering the same brilliant color.
For AAA Flag & Banner, green inks are the first step towards complete environmental responsibility. The company has also embraced a wide variety of eco-friendly printing substrates, many of which meet the OEKO-TEX environmental standards for toxic substances and air quality.
To keep the two-year transition on track, AAA employee volunteers known as “The Green Circle” regularly gather to discuss new ways the company can reduce, reuse, recycle and fully respect the planet and its resources. By sourcing local products and employing green cleaning practices, employee health and morale is boosted and the company’s eco-footprint is minimized.
AAA employees are also encouraged to find new suppliers of eco-friendly printing products. Green ambassadors from the company-supported Environmental Charter High School of Los Angeles (ECHS) contribute additional ideas as part of their annual school curriculum. Notable clients such as Disney, Fox Entertainment, Walmart and Louis Vuitton have been early adopters of AAA’s green printing methodologies.
