The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP), Loveland, OH, has certified Portland, OR-based Infinity Images as SGP s 22nd certified printer and the first in the Pacific Northwest. Infinity Images, a large-format, digital-printing company, produces graphics for retail, brand marketing, events and interpretive museum environments. To become SGP-certified, a printer must pass an onsite audit with criteria based on an holistic approach to sustainability.
"Infinity Images recognizes the direct impact that our printing decisions have on our environment, the economy, and society. As we find and select the sustainable graphic solutions for our clients, these best practices become an essential part of building our business," said Eric Balderas, Infinity’s director of business development. "SGP is key to our company philosophy and business model. The certification establishes credibility, surpassing all the green washing that exists in our industry today."
"The SGP Partnership is excited to announce Infinity Images as the first certified SGP printer in the Pacific Northwest. Its commitment to sustainable business practices is only strengthened by achieving this certification,” said Marcia Kinter, SGP board of directors chair.
SGP-certified printers are assigned a certification number and logo for use on their printed products to indicate it was "Printed by a SGP Printer." U.S. and Canadian printing facilities can apply for certification with the SGP Partnership.
