Green Statement

In support of UCLA's mission of promoting environmentally responsible purchasing, this catalog is printed on Grays Harbor paper. This mill uses sustainable production processes, and produces the majority of the energy used on site with their renewable biomass energy production system. Grays Harbor's renewable electrical generation, which is Green-e certified, is a direct replacement for regional fossil fuel generation, reducing green house gas emissions and conserving a finite fossil supply.

The printer, Sinclair Printing Company, is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which promotes products from well-managed forests. The company recycles its entire paper, aluminum, glass, plastic, and steel waste streams. Sinclair uses ink made from a variety of vegetable-based oils extracted from plants such as soybeans, chinawood seeds, and flax seeds. Its waste ink is used as an alternative fuel to fire kilns.
