We are committed to producing print using recycled paper, or paper supplied from sustainable forests, wherever possible.
We are members of the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes).We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint, at the same time as addressing environmental issues. By investing £2 million in the latest, state of the art printing press that has been specifically designed to reduce waste, use less power, and use vegetable based inks.
We recently furthered this commitment by switching from processed plates to processless plates to eradicate the use of chemicals. It has long been our ambition to use processless plates, due to the environmental impact of using developer fluids and the cost of removing their waste. Since switching we have seen our waste levels decrease by around 500 litres. We also recycle all waste material from paper, and printing plates.
We operate a press colour control system called Axis Control, which constantly monitors quality and accuracy on the press whilst each print job is running. This ensures waste paper, quality issues and subsequent re-prints are reduced.
Our goal is to continue to maintain the highest printing standards as we evaluate and adopt practices that allow us to continually reduce our carbon footprint, avoiding the waste of our earth’s resources.
