Sustainability in Action: How Lauterbach Group is Reinventing Water Usage in Printing & Packaging

At Lauterbach Group, Inc., sustainability isn’t just a checkbox—it’s an integral part of our process. As a pressure-sensitive, shrink sleeve, and In-Mold label manufacturer, as well as a flexible packaging manufacturer specializing in the production of pouches, we recognize that our environmental impact matters—not only to our business but also to our employees, customers, and community. That’s why we’re proud to announce our latest initiative: the installation of a cutting-edge water recycling and reclamation facility within our building.

A LEED-Certified Commitment to Sustainability

Sustainability is deeply embedded in our company’s DNA, from how we manufacture to where we operate. Our corporate and production headquarters is a Silver Certified LEED facility, designed to optimize energy efficiency, water conservation, and overall environmental responsibility. Installing a water recycling and reclamation plant within our building is another step forward in our mission to integrate sustainable practices into every aspect of our operations.

Water Usage in High-Tech Printing & Packaging

Our industry relies on precision, efficiency, and innovation. At Lauterbach Group, Inc., we manufacture using state-of-the-art flexographic and digital production equipment, ensuring the highest-quality results for our clients. Water plays a critical role in maintaining this equipment, cooling systems, and facilitating the printing process. With the installation of a water recycling and reclamation facility, we’re taking proactive steps to optimize usage, reduce waste, and increase operational sustainability—all while maintaining the exceptional quality we’re known for.

Sustainability as a Core Principle

For us, sustainability isn’t a bolt-on process—it’s deeply integrated into how we operate. This system will allow us to reclaim and reuse production water used in clean-up reducing consumption while minimizing environmental impact. We view this project as an investment—not just in our company, butin the future of our industry, our employees, and the community we proudly serve.

Supporting Our Team & Community

Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond environmental impact—it’s about supporting the people who make Lauterbach Group what it is. By installing this facility, we’re taking action to protect resources, reduce operational costs, and foster a workplace that values both innovation and responsibility. This initiative strengthens our commitment to our team members and creates a positive ripple effect throughout our local community.

Leading the Way in Sustainable Packaging

When businesses take meaningful steps toward sustainability, they inspire others to follow suit. At Lauterbach Group, we’re dedicated to leading by example, proving that responsible environmental practices and business success go hand in hand. With this water recycling and reclamation plant, we’re setting a new standard for sustainable manufacturing in the label and packaging industry.

As we move forward with this initiative, we invite our clients, suppliers, group members and partners to join us in this journey toward a more sustainable future. Because at Lauterbach Group, sustainability isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are.
