OUR MISSION

AoSA Mission

AoSA’s mission is to lead the green movement in printing.  We hope to inspire co-creation thru our design and fabrication so that we may peacefully co-exist with nature. 

We are at the beginning of a revolution to eliminate the negative human impact on the environment.  Over the last decade, people have become increasingly concerned with climate change, natural resource dependency, and sustainability.  From the food we eat to the clothes we wear everyone has become more aware of how our consumption impacts the environment.  Once seldom mentioned or pursued, 'sustainability' and 'being green' are musts for today's manufacturer.

The printing industry is no exception.  Traditionally printing has had a purely negative environmental impact.  Solvent inks release toxins into the air and printed media turns into waste for landfills.  However, changes have been made.  First, recycling was widely implemented.  Then, the use of post consumer paper for newspapers, brochures, and magazines became common.  New advancements in technologies lead to less toxic ink solutions.  The printing industry has joined the movement.

AoSA operates at the head of this movement.  In addition to the above-mentioned processes, our company introduces ideas that further reusability.  The papers we use come from a mill that runs a sustainable forest.  Our inks are organic, and release no toxic substances and our new sustainable banner program employs a fabric made entirely from 100% plastic bottles. Furthermore, after the consumer is done with the banner, AoSA will reclaim them to be made and sold as tote bags, wallets, and purses. Thus creating a double recycling process and helping to reduce the four billion pounds of PVC being added to landfills every year.

We are happy to be at the forefront of green printing and look forward to a completely sustainable world.
