Environmental Commitment
We have an Environmental Policy Statement which adheres to standards set by ISO14001 which is implemented by the Directors.
- we proactively work to reduce our impact on the environment by advising clients how to make best use of printed materials over digital media
- we add value to printed media to ensure it is used to its best abilities and encourage end-users to recycle it where possible
- we only stock recycled paper and FSC and PEFC certified paper products supplied by Xerox which comes from well managed forests
Our internal environmental issues and solutions are identified below:
- energy saving devices built in to our production equipment and PC’s
- low energy fluorescent lighting
- low heating requirement in well insulated premises; leading to easily managed consistent temperature range required to keep the presses and paper stocks at their optimum
- all parts of the digital presses are refurbished or recycled according to Xerox Environmental Policy
- toner cartridges are recycled
- toner waste containers are disposed of through standard waste stream and are inert
- we recycle all paper and cardboard waste through a specialist waste stream along with general ‘recyclables’.
- our general non recyclable waste amounts to one sack per weeks and continues to fall since installing a new combined general recyclables bin
