The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership^SM welcomes the addition of Environmental Inks and Coatings to the SGP Patron program as a Bronze Patron. Environmental Inks and Coatings joins numerous other companies that have demonstrated their commitment to sustainability by becoming an SGP Patron.

"Joining the SGP was a natural fit for Environmental Inks and Coatings since we have been promoting environmental responsibility for 30 years,” states Paul Schroeder, CEO of Environmental Inks and Coatings.

The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership^SM is a non-profit organization devoted to encouraging and promoting participation in the worldwide movement to reduce the environmental impact and increase the social responsibility of the print and graphic communication industry through sustainable green printing practices. Through the generous support of philanthropic companies like Environmental Inks and Coatings, the SGP Partnership is able to keep fees low for printers to participate in the program.
