Creating a sustainable
future, together

Your Sustainable Printing Company

Sustainability comes from a deep respect for all living things. Although consumers care about it more than ever, it isn’t about consumer trends. Sustainability is about caring for others, especially those who will come after us. That’s why we put so much work into our sustainable printing solutions, why we use carbon-free electricity, and why we go through the most rigorous audits for the best accreditations. Let’s build a better future together, one package at a time.

Clean, Renewable Energy

As a sustainable printing company, Meyers is committed to responsible energy usage. Our clean energy initiatives do more than improve our impact; they improve the impact of our customers’ supply chains as well.

100%

CARBON-FREE ELECTRICITY

We began using 100% carbon-free electricity in 2021, which continues to power all our production.

128

SOLAR PANELS

Our Phase 1 solar array has 128 roof-ballasted solar panels producing about 58,000 kWh each year, which offsets about 90,000 pounds of CO2 annually.

832

ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Our carbon-free electricity usage has the equivalent impact as 832 average gas-powered vehicles switching to electric vehicles.

Responsible Manufacturing Practices

Sustainable printing requires much more than unbleached paper and renewable electricity. That’s why Meyers is committed to a full range of responsible manufacturing practices.

 Zero Waste to Landfill

Optimized recycling of manufacturing waste plus waste-to-electricity conversion means we send zero waste to landfills. It’s all in a good day’s work for an environmental printing company.

Recycling on a Massive Scale

As a green printing company, Meyers works hard to recycle as many of our materials as we can. We recycled over 2.7 million pounds of material in 2022. This saved over 5,000 tons of CO2 from being emitted while saving over 8.6 million gallons of fresh water and nearly 21,000 trees.

Sustainable Printing Materials

Meyers offers a wide range of sustainable materials for packaging, labels, retail displays, cards, and more. These include FSC and SFI-certified materials, recycled content, unbleached papers, plastic labels made from regenerative sources, and more. Do you need a compostable label for your compostable package? We’ve got you. The same goes for biodegradable and recyclable packages.

Goals & Progress

Net Zero Operations by 2024

Meyers is on track to achieve Net Zero emissions across scopes 1 & 2 by the end of 2024, which will dramatically improve our impact.

Full Net Zero Emissions by 2040

As a member of The Climate Pledge, Meyers will be Net Zero across all 3 scopes by 2040

Meyers’ net zero definition aims to minimize emissions within our facility and offset any remaining emissions. We target emissions from our internal processes (scope 1 and 2 emissions), including electricity sourcing, on-site activities, and company-owned vehicles. However, we do not consider scope 3 emissions, which encompass emissions from the product’s life cycle and our supply chain.
