For four generations, our company has worked diligently to recycle, reduce waste and to increase our energy efficiencies. We've invested in new technologies such as high-efficiency lighting that reduced our energy consumption by 30% per fixture throughout our 52,000 square-foot facility and most recently with the installation of a 56 kilowatt solar array.
In addition to our continued efforts to reduce our carbon footprint, we're proud to be able to provide a variety of green printing solutions that will help you to achieve your own environmental goals and initiatives.
PRINT SOLAR: Utilize renewable energy to fuel your print needs:
It's not uncommon for you to see commercial print organizations promote the use of renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power. Most organizations accomplish this task by purchasing energy credits and passing any associated costs along to their customers. It allows the customer to make a renewable energy, environmental claim, but it does not truly do anything to reduce energy consumption.
When we decided that it was time to offer renewable energy solutions, we made the decision to reduce our consumption of energy originating from non-renewable resources by installing our own on-site solar array to supply direct power to our facility.
When you utilize Payne, you can be confident that you've made an environmentally responsible decision.
Make a statement by using a "Printed Using Solar Energy" logo on your next project.

PRINT FSC: The benefits of utilizing our Forest Stewardship Council certification:
Carrying the FSC-certification logo on your print products tells the world that you support the highest social and environmental standards.
Your purchase of FSC-certified paper and print products contribute to conservation, responsible forest management and community level benefits for people near the forests that provide your paper.
FSC logos are available in landscape and portrait formats and can be placed on any printed product that meets their chain-of-custody guidelines.
Consult your sales or customer services associate about placing an FSC logo on your next project.
Quantify your decision to print responsibly with an Environmental Impact Estimate (Eco-Audit):
Take your statement a step further by placing an Eco-Audit on your printed materials. An Eco-Audit illustrates the impact your decision has made to benefit the environment by offering real data pertaining to resources saved.
Though indirectly connected through some certified papers, Eco-Audits do not fall under FSC design and placement guidelines as they are a product of the Environmental Defense Fund. You can display the data anyway and anywhere you'd like within your printed piece as long as the proper citation is made for the Environmental Defense Paper Calculator.
If you are interested in using an Eco-Audit, your sales or customer service associate will be happy to provide you with the data specific to your project. We're also always happy to create the audit graphic for you if you prefer.
