us and the environment

Caring for the Environment is Fundamental to Everything We Do.

Our business works because we’re as efficient as possible. We use as few resources as we can. Fewer resources mean less waste. But we’re never content…

All our processes are constantly refined to ensure that we minimise waste. What waste we do produce, we separate into seventeen distinct streams for easy recycling or reprocessing. We compact all of our waste paper to minimise transportation, prior to being recycled. Our printing plates are recycled and our used chemicals are disposed of responsibly.

We use vegetable-based inks, pumped straight from large drums, rather than smaller cartridges in wasteful packaging. And talking of packaging, we’ve drastically reduced the volume of waste we pass onto you too. All of our cartons are produced from unbleached board.

This year we’re giving you even more choice to do your bit for the environment too. We’ve introduced many new products printed on 100% recycled paper – just look for the recycled logo throughout this guide. Where possible, the rest of our paper stock is made from wood pulp which is Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF). All pulp is sourced from sustainable forests, where trees are farmed as crops – just like wheat.

we've pledged to plant 25,000 trees in the uk

This year we've pledged to plant 25,000 trees and we need your help. For every eighth order placed, we’ll get our friends at Tree Appeal to plant a tree somewhere in England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales.

Planting trees is a great way for us to offset our carbon emissions. It’s also a great way for you to help the environment, with something as simple as choosing who prints your leaflets, business cards, flyers, folders or posters. Don’t take our word for it – Professor David Bellamy says “I believe Tree Appeal is a very exciting initiative because it gives companies the opportunity to make a real difference. These broad-leaved trees make a significant long-term contribution to the environment.”

So tell all your friends. Phone them now. We’ve only just begun. Help us reach our great big leafy goal of planting 25,000 trees.
