We have a continuing effort to grow our green initiatives while looking for new ways to recycle paper and plastic, reduce non-recyclable waste and lessen or eliminate environmental hazards.

Accomplishments include:

• Reducing hazardous waste pounds by more than 90 percent
• Diverting at least 85 percent of all waste from landfills to be recycled or used for energy
• Recycling over 10,000 tons of paper, plastics, metals, etc. annually

These facilities are “landfill free.” This means that all waste from these locations is diverted away from landfills and is either recycled or sent to facilities to be consumed to produce energy.

• Jeffersonville, Indiana
• Shelbyville, Indiana
• York, Pennsylvania
• Tampa, Florida

Taylor Communications is conscious of the impact of sourcing decisions on endangered species, high conservation value forests, communities and climate in places like:

• The Boreal 
• The Broadback Forest
• Coastal Temperate Rainforests
• Indonesian Rainforests

We are working closely with not-for-profit Canopy on policy implementation to ensure we carefully assess our fibre sourcing to avoid ancient and endangered forest regions.

Taylor Communications is committed to the conservation of the world’s ancient and endangered forest ecosystems. As part of that commitment, we strongly support the North American commercial scale development of pulp, paper and packaging alternatives that are derived from agricultural residues like wheat straw as a way to diversify the fiber basket and meet our continued need for high quality, cost effective products.

Taylor Communications is working with not-for-profit Canopy to encourage governments and the forestry sector to support and advance the protection of the world’s ancient and endangered forests. We are proud to contribute to the creation of conservation legacies in these landscapes of hope.
