Environment

Memory Book Company is serious about our impact on the environment, and we have processes in place to reduce the amount of waste produced at the plant.

• Waste and paper coming from the plant is recycled.
• Paper is purchased from mills that follow sound environmental practices
• The forests are replanted as the trees are cut down.
• Our job setup procedures require images to be printed on the smallest sheet of paper possible to reduce waste.
• Yearbooks are printed with inks containing vegetable oil content. Memory Book ink is certified by the Iowa Soybean Association.
• The facility does not put any chemicals in the waste water.
• The yearbooks produced can be recycled by the end user (depending on cover enhancements).
• Yearbook proofs for certain design programs are sent via email or through the FTP site which saves on paper, ink, and shipping envelopes.
• Proofs for all covers are sent electronically.
