The Rossel La Voix group is aware of the challenges of Sustainable Development. It mobilizes its employees and organizes strategic planning committees to implement solutions within and outside the company to better protect the environment.
One of their initiatives was to rethink waste management.
The main objectives of this project were to:
At the printing process level:
- The use of disposable cloths was abandoned in favor for recycled cloths;
- The use of refillable ink containers was preferred (previously colored inks were shipped in non-refillable containers);
- The modernization of the rotary park has reduced the rate of paper waste.
In the offices:
- The paper is sorted and recycled via different channels (Elected officials, municipalities, associations, etc.);
- A collection system for batteries, light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, printer toners and electronic equipment waste was implemented across the group;
- An awareness campaign which encourages employees to reduce their waste every day, mostly the paper (front / back printing, etc.).
The main intention was to extend these practices to the whole group which is about twenty or so companies.
For the readers:
- The Rossel La Voix group has partnered with Ecofolio, a paper eco-organization to educate its readers on sorting newspapers.
- Thematic articles on waste management are regularly present in all media.
