The AMS team is excited to report the following updates.
Title: Bio-Poly
Date: Apr 24th, 2008
AMS is excited to announce that we have now added Bio-degradable Poly to our offerings. Regular poly is said to have a degradation period of up to 100 years, while Bio-poly has shown to break down within 3 to 5 years. The additional cost for this material is about 10% above standard poly, and the quality/clarity is very similar. Unique proprietary additives within the poly encourage "microbes" to break down the material within a biodegrad environment. Be assured however that the poly is as strong and reliable as it's predecessor. AMS's commitment to the environment began with an extensive recycling program for waste paper and cardboard. Not only is our Cardboard (large volume) recycled, all proceeds are given to a local school for education and support. Our main addressing machine utilizes only water based inks, while our secondary machine has inks that are eventually reconditioned and reused. Finally, in effort to minimize our electrial consumption, our building was designed to take advantage of sunlight, by means of large windows along our southern exposure. This we believe allows us to use minimal lighting to illuminate our facility. We continue to look at our practices and business model to where and how we can increase our commitment to a clean environment.
