Quality Resource Group - Great Printer

Participation in the PIM (The Printing Industry of Minnesota) Great Printer Environmental Initiative is a totally voluntary effort by printers to demonstrate their commitment to minimize their company’s impact on human health and the environment while producing quality printed products for their customers. Great Printers go beyond what is required by government regulatory agencies in environmental, health and safety compliance. Great Printers are green printers.

The PIM Great Printer Environmental Initiative has been in place for over 10 years. It evolved from the Great Printers Project, which was a collaborative project undertaken initially by the Council of Great Lake Governors, the Environmental Defense Fund, and the Printing Industries of America, Inc.

As a PIM Great Printer Environmental Initiative Principles, Quality Resource Group, Inc. commits to:

Complying with all applicable environmental, health and safety requirements;
Going beyond compliance by minimizing wastes, reusing or recycling waste that cannot be prevented and maxi mizing energy efficiency; and
Pursuing continuous environmental, health and safety improvements.

Print customers can have an impact on preventing waste and pollution by:

Choosing companies for your print projects that participate in the PIM Great Printer Environmental Initiative;
Letting printers know that PIM Great Printer Environmental Initiative membership was one of the reasons that you chose them;
Encouraging printers you have worked with to participate in the PIM Great Printer Environmental Initiative;
Asking printers about their environmental, health and safety (EHS) programs and projects that go beyond the minimum requirements of EHS regulations; and
Working with your printer to develop your printed materials in a way that minimizes environmental impact.
