The Tag and Label Manufacturers Institute (TLMI) has announced that RotoMetrics has become the 64th facility to achieve TLMI L.I.F.E. certification.
The L.I.F.E. program was developed in order to assist TLMI members in finding cost effective ways to reduce their companies’ environmental footprint. L.I.F.E. is a program designed specifically for the narrow web marketplace and addresses four key elements of the narrow web printing and converting industry: clean production, energy and greenhouse gases, product and environmentally preferable materials, and management practices.
RotoMetrics, based in Eureka, Missouri, is the first die and cylinder supplier to become L.I.F.E. certified.
“RotoMetrics has been an active member of TLMI since 1966, and was the first rotary die manufacturer to join the association," Carol Hanson, global environmental and quality manager, said. "RotoMetrics is proud to achieve another first — L.I.F.E. certification. As the only rotary die supplier with ISO 9001 and 14001 certification, the L.I.F.E. certification further demonstrates our commitment to protecting the environment and continuously improving our environmental performance. We are proud to receive L.I.F.E. certification and look forward to expanding our environmental programs.”
Mark Tibbetts, TLMI president, commented, “I would like to personally congratulate RotoMetrics on their L.I.F.E. certification achievement. The company has been an active member of TLMI for half a century, and becoming L.I.F.E. certified further demonstrates their commitment to the association, to sustainability best practices and to the industry. The L.I.F.E. program is an asset to both TLMI converter and supplier members, and reinforces the association’s pledge of continuing to place resources in the hands of our members that enable them to become better stewards of the environment.”
The TLMI L.I.F.E. program is the only certification platform tailored to the specific requirements of the narrow web printing and packaging industry. For more information visit: http://tlmi.com/about-life/.
