Why We’re Taking Action
The vehicle wrap and print industry generates thousands of pounds of vinyl waste every year. Release liners, backing paper, test prints, and misprints often go straight to the landfill. But what if we could change that?
We’ve partnered with sustainability experts, MBA researchers, and industry pros to pilot solutions that reduce waste, repurpose materials, and inspire change. Our efforts include:
Exploring recycling and upcycling of vinyl release liners
Investing in sustainable packaging and eco-conscious materials
Researching closed-loop solutions with local manufacturers
Advocating for community solar and workplace EV charging
Educating others through events, tours, and collaborative projects

We minimize waste by carefully measuring materials, repurposing scraps for smaller projects, and recycling non-reusable materials through specialized programs.
Our shop is equipped with energy-efficient tools and lighting, minimizing our environmental footprint during the production and installation process.
As part of the Watts @ Work Program, we’re proud to integrate electric vehicles into our operations and support workplace charging stations for employees and visitors. This includes collaboration with local businesses to install EV charging stations in shared spaces.
