Socially Responsible Practices

Sustainable Forestry
 
Twenty-two U.S. production facilities have obtained certifications with the Forest Stewardship Council® and/or Sustainable Forestry Initiative®. Through FSC® and SFI® chain of custody systems, we help customers demonstrate their commitment to responsible forest management and label their products with the FSC® or SFI® trademark.

Avoiding Endangered Hot Spots
 
Taylor carefully manages our fiber sourcing to avoid ancient and endangered forest regions, including North America’s boreal forest, coastal temperate rainforests and Indonesian rainforests.
 
Recycling
 
Through a focused effort, Taylor was able to recycle more than 28,500 tons of waste materials in 2023 (paper, plastic, metals, electronics, etc.), representing more than 75% of our total waste tonnage.
 
Waste Reduction
 
Taylor diverted more than 4,500 tons of non-recyclable waste in 2023, yielding a diversion-from-landfill rate of 87%. We have 12 “landfill free” locations and another six sites send a portion of their waste to waste-to-energy outlets.
Water Conservation and Reclamation
 
Our main product lines involve label and paper converting, with minimal use of water in the production process. Effluents from Taylor facilities are directed to local municipal water treatment plants where they are treated and recycled through the municipality. Any and all permits are in place for these municipalities.
 
Replacing Volatile Organic Compounds
 
Decades ago we stopped using petroleum-based inks in offset printing and adopted vegetable (soy) based inks instead. This transformation from alcohol/solvent-based to synthetic-based material is much safer for employees and the environment. We also purchase carbonless paper that uses vegetable-based carbonless capsules.
 
Our Approach
 
Taylor has earned national recognition for its commitment to sustainability by following a three-pronged approach grounded in responsible sourcing, recycling and resource management.
