Sustainable Solutions

We strive to minimize and limit our waste and consumption of natural resources. We also reduce, reuse and recycle materials and other applicable items used in our production. Our goal is to conduct business and deliver quality work in an environmentally responsible way. Some of our sustainable efforts include:

Recycling
A comprehensive plant-wide recycling program is ongoing for all applicable materials and electronics throughout all operations. Office equipment toner/ink cartridges after use are returned to supplier for refurbishing or recycling into usable product.

Energy Efficiency
Company-wide improvements have been made to our facility including LED lighting both inside and outside and installation of motion sensors in low traffic areas.

Community Share Donations
We have an in-house donation program for recycling and repurposing goods within our community which supports our local schools and non-profit organizations.

Trex Recycling Program

Since 2018 Yunker has participated in the Trex Recycling program in an effort to keep plastic out of the landfill. Employees and their families are eager to participate as they now have an outlet for those unwanted plastic grocery bags and other plastic film recyclable items. Participation in the program gives Yunker the opportunity to give back to its community by donating benches to local non-profits and park environments. Learn more about the program.

Dual Certified

Yunker Industries is one of the only printing companies to hold dual certification in the state of Wisconsin for both SGP (Sustainable Green Partner) and Wisconsin Green Tier (DNR).

It is our ongoing commitment to work with our vendors and other companies to continue looking at ways of streamlining our manufacturing process, limiting the use of non-recycled materials, lowering our energy consumption, reducing pollution and improving the use of recyclable/reusable materials within our organization.
