St. Louis has been home to Advertisers Printing for the last century. First established in 1923, on Washington Avenue, “Printers Row,” Advertisers Printing has been calling this region home and helping to take care of it for the last century. You’ve probably had our work on your refrigerator at some point. We print for St. Louis. The United Way, the Saint Louis Art Museum, the Contemporary Art Museum, the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, and the St. Louis Zoo are just a few of the clients we’ve printed for that make their way to your mailbox, on your refrigerator, community bulletin boards and eventually become memories and change makers for our community.
“I had a bit of an epiphany with the birth of my son, that I had spent 20 years in a business filling landfills. I was worried about the legacy and the world that I would be leaving so we started chasing things that could have a lighter footprint environmentally.” John Heaney, director of Sustainability, has been leading the charge for the last decade.
According to a recently published article for MIT, “the cloud” now has a greater carbon footprint than the airline industry. A single data center can consume the equivalent electricity of 50,000 homes.
Jean Ponzi, Green Resources manager for the Earth Waste Center at the Missouri Botanical Garden has had the pleasure of working with Advertisers Printing since 2014 in the program that she manages for the Garden, the Saint Louis Green Business Challenge.
“Advertisers Printing Company is one of many companies that have used the challenge as an opportunity to grow a culture of green thinking and green practice,” shares Ponzi.
There already was sustainability expertise in-house, thanks to John Heaney’s efforts in getting a master’s in Sustainability through Saint Louis University.
Through obtaining and getting re-certified year after year as a sustainable green printer, Advertisers Printing has introduced many initiatives that are good for business, good for the earth, and good for our region. Advertisers Printing has also printed the annual accomplishments and innovations catalog! You could say we “printed the book” on sustainability and will continue to grow and expand and think differently for our community and our clients.
