Simply put, Volatile Organic Compounds are solvents used in inks, coatings, adhesives and other consumer products. When combined with heat and sunlight, these solvents give off emissions which react with oxides of nitrogen to form ground-level ozone. Vehicles are the largest source of VOC emissions nationwide, and other significant sources include petroleum production and industrial combustion. Even natural sources such as trees and other vegetation give off VOC emissions.
Standards have been put in place by the Federal, State and local governments that require us to measure the amount of VOC’s released by our solvents and inks. Southern California has adopted some of the strictest regulations in the United States. Permits must be authorized and purchased in order to ensure compliance with these standards.
Since 1987, our presses have been permitted by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). These permits restrict the amount of VOC’s we are allowed to release per year and must be renewed annually. We Do Graphics, Inc. consistently maintains the annual VOC’s released at 22.8% of our annual allotted level.
We are proud of the long-standing efforts we’ve made toward creating a cleaner, healthier environment. We continue to look for ways in which we can improve our process while maintaining production of the high quality products our clients have come to expect.
