The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP), the leading certification authority in sustainable printing, announced today that Hatteras, Tinton Falls, NJ, has become the most recent facility to attain SGP certification.
"Sustainability is very important to us as a company. We’re making every effort to be environmentally responsible and we’re also seeing more of our clients ask us about our sustainability initiatives," said Bill Duerr, president, Hatteras. "Achieving SGP certification demonstrates to them that we’re following industry best practices and taking a leadership role in helping to protect the environment through green printing practices."
As a certified SGP Facility, Hatteras is committed to exceeding sustainability targets by reducing waste, conserving energy, sourcing sustainable materials, creating a safe workplace, continuous improvement and lowering its carbon footprint.

"Certified SGP Facilities, like Hatteras, have taken the steps to validate their sustainability programs," said Doreen Monteleone, Flexographic Technical Association representative and SGP treasurer. "It is not enough to say your company is sutainable.You need to prove it. SGP offers that mechanism through its well-developed, holistic certification criteria."
