PDC Catalogs Go Recycled

With deforestation contributing to nearly 25-30% of global warming¹, PDC recognizes our responsibility to minimize our enviromental impact wherever we can. One of the steps we've chosen to take is to use recycled materials (25% post-consumer recycled content) for all of our 2008 catalogs. For our Healthcare catalog alone, this results in the following estimated savings:

Wood Use:	2 tons = 13 trees
Total Energy:	9 million BTU's
Greenhouse Gases:	1,455 lbs of CO₂
Wastewater:	4,770 gallons
Solid Waste:	789 lbs
Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP):	20%
Particulates:	3 lbs
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs):	2 lbs

Look for our new catalogs today, and be sure to recycle or pass it along so it can be used again!

This catalog is printed with water-based inks on recycled paper with 25% post-consumer recycled content. Please recycle or pass along this catalog so it can be used again.
