In October, Carlstadt, N.J.'s Pictorial Offset Corp. was selected for membership into the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Environmental Performance Track Program. Pictorial Offset Corporation is the only major commercial printer in the program.

With more than 400 members, EPA's program is leading the way toward a cleaner, safer environment. Performance Track members include facilities from virtually all manufacturing sectors. Pictorial Offset's specific commitment objectives in the program are in four parts. Pictorial Offset has committed to the reduction of emissions of volatile organic compounds, the reduction of hazardous waste, the reduction of electric consumption, and its continued land conservation initiatives.

"We are delighted to be in the [program]," said Lester Samuels, managing partner of Pictorial Offset Corp. "Performance Track allows Pictorial Offset a national platform to continue with three of our core values—giving back to the local community, doing the right thing to lessen our impact on nature, and learning how we can do more to protect our environment."
