In this GLGA Magazine article, author John Tsun discusses environmental compliance in print operations and how it evolves with materials, processes, and production demands. The facilities that manage changes effectively aren’t necessarily doing more; they are paying closer attention to how small operational decisions connect to regulatory requirements. John makes a clear business case for maintaining that alignment because when compliance gaps go unaddressed, the consequences can extend beyond internal corrections. Notices of Violation (NOVs), consent orders, and enforcement actions can introduce unplanned costs, disrupt operations, and, in some cases, become public, creating potential brand and reputational risks.
In today’s environment, small operational decisions and the attention given to them make a meaningful difference. Step through John’s advice for proactively aligning operations and regulations.
