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.

About Quad

"I don't think the general public knows enough about the significant efforts Quad does to go above and beyond what's required of them."
