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 accredited paper products supplied by Xerox which comes from sustainably 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 and fuser oil 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 every three weeks and continues to fall since installing a new combined general recyclables bin
