Solvent recovery
According to 2007 EPA reporting data (the most recent year for which comparative data is available), Quad's
three gravure printing facilities — located in Lomira, Wis.; Martinsburg, W.Va., and Oklahoma City, Ok. —
make up three of the top four best performing facilities in the industry, as far as percentage rate of
solvent recovery and pounds recovered vs. released.
Quad’s gravure pressrooms are engineered to be permanent total enclosures, so 100 percent of
solvent-laden air is captured and recovered. In 2007, the solvent recovery systems in the company's
gravure pressrooms averaged 99.54 percent efficiency, which is considerably above the standard of 92
percent required by the EPA and the 96.86 percent industry average.
