Reducing Flexographic Printing's Impact on the Environment

Conversource – A Leader in Sustainability.

Does your facility have an environmental policy? 

Do your customers have one? 

Many brand-owner customers appreciate when you use earth-friendly products and service providers in your operations and printing facilities. It may even give you a competitive advantage that wins you additional business. 

For years, Conversource has been partnering with industrial manufacturers to identify Eco-friendly products and solutions designed specifically to meet the everyday needs of flexographic printers. 

Through our long-standing focus on sustainability, several industry-leading services are available to reduce waste, scrap, landfill and energy usage. We take our environmental impact seriously and have implemented a number of initiatives both internally and in partnership with flexographic printers to combat waste and become more environmentally effective.

Custom Cutting Plate Mounting Tape

As Stickyback Headquarters, Conversource pioneered true Custom Cutting for plate mounting tapes. Through our Custom Cutting service, we encourage flexographic printers to buy only the sizes they need to mount plates on press. This unique Conversource service has helped flexographic printers reduce their impact on the environment by reducing waste and excess scrap for decades. Learn more >>

New Investment in Renewable Solar Energy

Conversource's new investment in solar energy tracks with the sun across Missouri. The panels provide more than 30% of the company's total energy. Conversource also sells back excess power to the grid during peak times.

The new solar array is our most recent investment in energy from renewable sources helping to advance Conversource's goal of more than 70% reduction in the company's dependence on traditional energy.
