We are an all Heidelberg shop with the sole exception of our H-P Indigo 5000 digital color press. All inks and coatings are non-petroleum, vegetable based. Spent fountain solutions are handled in accordance with EPA and state regulations. All excess paper and metal plates are recycled.
Commitment
Goetz Printing created the program “Green 2.0” with the goal of raising the bar on the printing industry. We are the first within the mid-Atlantic region to become tri-certified to the FSC, PEFC, and SFI chain of custody programs & also carbon neutral. Through our partnership with Carbonfund.org, along with the level of commitment to its programs, Goetz is also recognized as a leader within the EPA’s Green Power Partner program.

Partner Quote
“Carbonfund.org is a natural partner for Goetz Printing because their programs support our quest to offset 100% of our annual electrical consumption with wind and solar RECs. In addition, we are able to offset the remainder of our carbon footprint (natural gas and transportation) through reforestation programs located throughout the Americas. Through this combination of offset certificates, Goetz achieves carbon neutrality. Better yet, we are able to support the furtherance of next generation renewable technologies and help build the demand for renewable sources of electricity in Northern Virginia.”
