Print & Design Focus The Environment

‘That’s one in the eye for China’ that’s the message we are sending out when it comes to the environment.

The growth of China's economy has surged in recent years at the expense of the environment.

The paper making industry has been one of the main causes of water pollution. More than 70 percent of China's rivers and lakes are polluted while underground water in 90 percent of Chinese cities is also affected. It is estimated that more than 300 million people nationwide have no access to clean water. If a company, council or school has based their environmental policy on the use of recycled paper for their printed materials, they really need to have a re-think. It seems that you can't open a newspaper or turn on the television these days without seeing another headline about climate change! It's easy to be overwhelmed by the enormity of the problem and wonder ‘what difference can I make’. At Digital Impressions we have set ourselves on the path of becoming as environmentally friendly as we can. We continually examine every aspect of the business supply chain to ensure that we are buying from suppliers with the same ethos.

For example at our production unit all our ink is based on clean vegetable oil and supplied in ecofriendly packaging. Plus we have site mixing technology, which allows us to mix colours as required to pin point accuracy making our waste close to zero! All our paper is sourced from European Union FSC grade forests where more trees are planted for the future than are felled each year. This exacting standard is seen in the industry as the Gold Standard for responsible husbandry of

forests. Indeed in the last year alone our suppliers planted many thousands of extra trees on our behalf!

All our paper is processed using Elemental Chlorine Free technology to avoid the production of damaging toxins. Of course, we could buy cheaper! Using paper produced from trees felled from virgin rainforest and processed in ways, which poison rivers and kill people! Some of our competitors do and it would save money. But we believe that is not what you, our customers, want or expect from Digital Impressions and it's not something we could be comfortable with. The same goes for our stand against Recycled Paper. Whilst re-using paper to make Newsprint and Packaging is environmentally sound, w e r e - u s e every surplus piece we produce, recycled paper just makes no sense at all. It is nothing more than hype peddled by marketers rather than people with a real interest in protecting our planet. Until every newspaper and every piece of packaging is made from re-used material there is simply no logic in trying to clean 'dirty paper' back into pristine white sheets. That's why we are proud to say that you will find no further mention of recycled paper in our catalogue! Our 'Green Zeal' is just as much in evidence when it comes to our use of electricity.

After a top to bottom review we are implementing a number of energy saving solutions, from energy saving lights, a choice of green power supplier to motors which run up to 70% more efficiently.

It is easy to feel overwhelmed but at least you now know of one way that you can ‘make a difference’.
