I am the General Manager for a printing plant here. We are 100% committed to responsible recycling and this has proved to be our biggest challenge. Basically, I sort scrap paper by grade about 50K lbs a week and ship it by container all over the work based on the best price for scrap. Other materials like ink, blankets, and plates are tough to recycle. Not that we can't find interest. Getting a manifest stating how the materials were used/disposed is. All those dish TV antennas sold on the intersections are not my printing plates.
