Tukaiz Environmental Impact Statement |
|
We are committed to environmental responsibility.
We continuously strive to
minimize the carbon footprint of Tukaiz and that of the marketing communication
products that we provide to our clients.
Tukaiz prints on various substrates for offset printing, digital printing and large format banner & flatbed printing.
- Today, many substrate manufacturers are retooling their product
offerings to be more eco-friendly. Tukaiz has experience with printing on
green alternative substrates on our various output devices. These
products range from banner material to rigid substrates to paper based
products for digital print and offset printing.
- Key components of these products include being biodegradable and / or
recyclable. We take great care with applying Tukaiz color management
techniques to assure that your brand equity is maintained across all
media outputs.
We believe in compliance to industry standards for sustainable forestry practices.

wood is transformed from a tree in the forest to a final product
provided in the marketplace. COC certification insures compliance to a
set of standards promoting sustainable forestry management. COC
requires documentation of all steps in the process that track wood from
a certified forest to the end use customers.
