Sayville, N.Y. – The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP), the leading authority in sustainable printing certifications, announced today that Boston Barricade, Vero Beach, Florida, has been certified as an SGP Printer. Sustainability has been built into the core of Boston Barricade's operation since day one. For them, SGP certification further demonstrates the company's dedication and continuation of that commitment.

"Our top priority has always been to provide the best customer experience. SGP places Boston Barricade ahead of the curve as a top print service provider and ensures that we will remain that way through continual improvement and sustainability," comments Bob Putnam, CEO.

Since applying to the SGP program, Boston Barricade has reduced its overall energy use by 10 percent through sustainable practices. Next year, they will be taking a bold approach to waste reduction and analyze circular economic workflows as a continual improvement project.

Boston Barricade is deeply involved with its local community through sponsorship and support of nonprofit organizations. Volunteers from the facility participate in the International Coastal Cleanup and have collected more than 800 pounds of trash from local waterways.

"The future relationship between Boston Barricade and the SGP Community is limitless due to the nature of an ever-evolving industry," adds Putnam. "Our duty to remain persistent in sustainable practices is our best safeguard in keeping our position parallel with shifts in industry. If we are sustainable, we will not only continue to thrive as a business but continue to be successful in our pursuit of the welfare of people, profit, and planet for generations to come."
