our policies
Paper All paper, board and packaging used meets our stringent environmental specifications and as a minimum these materials are ECF or TCF Elementally or Totally Chlorine Free which is the kindest way to bleach the pulp. We actively encourage and promote the use of FSC Certified Paper, 100% recyled paper or paper containing an element of recycled fibre. Our website products are printed on FSC Papers or 100% Recycled Paper. Reduce or Avoid the use of Chemicals
Reduce and Recycle Waste We have reduced our unavoidable production waste of paper and chemicals by up to 85% and will continue to seek ways to further reduce such waste. We segregate, re-use and recycle the waste unavoidably produced in our production processes. Waste paper and spent aluminium printing plates are collected for recycling, as are spent chemicals. We invest in the latest production equipment which is more efficient and less wasteful of materials in the first place.
We use an inert water based protective coating sealant on our products which is an eco-friendly alternative to polymer based coatings, “litho seal” and plastic laminates. We run IPA - (isopropyl alcohol) - free on our printing presses, as opposed to the industry average of 8%. Our inks are vegetable oil based specifically linseed oil - as opposed to mineral oil. The removal of IPA alcohol and use of vegetable ink has virtually eliminated our emissions of VOC’s - Volatile Organic Compounds - into the atmosphere. These VOC’s are a major source of ozone pollution and are a potential a health hazard to our staff. We promote printing which uses significantly less chemicals, solvents and paper in job setup and press cleaning than traditional printing presses. We offer quality digital print solutions when appropriate to the job.
