Sustainability Policy

Sustainability That Works In the Real World

Navitor’s approach to sustainability gives resellers a built-in advantage – helping you meet procurement standards, appeal to eco-conscious buyers, and win business with organizations that prioritize responsible sourcing.  

Our Approach

For Navitor, sustainability in print manufacturing isn’t just about the paper – it’s about the process.

We focus on responsible sourcing, cleaner production, and waste reduction across our nationwide network. From FSC^®-certified and recycled stocks to energy-efficient LED UV printing and zero-landfill facilities, our goal is to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the quality and reliability you expect.

We also manufacture smarter – producing closer to where customers are to reduce transportation emissions and offering on-demand printing to minimize overruns and excess inventory.

Our guiding principle is simple:
We are committed to managing natural resources responsibly, being good corporate citizens, and protecting the health and safety of our employees, clients, and visitors.
 

Facilities & Operations

Across Navitor facilities, sustainability is built into everyday practices:

• Recycling Programs – We recycle all types of paper (printed and blank), corrugated materials, aluminum plates, magnesium dies, and scrap metal. If it can be recycled, we recycle it.
• Energy Recovery – Paper waste is shredded and pulped for reuse or converted to energy, reducing landfill waste and supporting waste-to-energy initiatives.
• Energy Efficiency – Facilities have transitioned to energy-saving LED lighting and process-free plating to reduce chemical use and improve air quality.
• Durable & Reusable Products –
  • Over 100 recycled stock options are available across our product lines.
  • 2000 Plus® PrintPro 40 stamps are made using over 70% post-consumer recycled materials.
  • Polypropylene products are designed for reuse.
  • Many promotional products feature recyclable or reusable materials.
  • We encourage adding recycling statements or eco icons to printed materials to promote responsible disposal.

Measurement & Continuous Improvement

Navitor tracks key sustainability metrics to identify new opportunities for improvement and set future goals. Each year, we monitor:

• Recycling tons and waste tons
• Hazardous waste levels
• Waste-to-energy volume
• Recycling and diversion rate goals vs. actuals

Progress to date:

• Navitor recycles 94% of all waste, equating to more than 1,500 tons per year at our Midwest facility alone.
• Company-wide, recycling volumes have reached nearly 30,000 tons annually.
• A substantial portion of waste is diverted to energy generation to meet landfill diversion goals.

Our facilities have held certifications such as FSC® and Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP), and we continue to uphold those environmental standards in our operations today.
