The Environment

Approach

Offering a fully integrated service to our clients provides several benefits to the environment, including a reduction in waste, by ensuring we utilise the most effective and efficient production methods available and then using a single courier network for delivery, avoiding multiple deliveries.

To further ensure that consideration of the environment is integrated throughout the business and its employees, we support the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. This not only enables us to support the national work of the Wildlife Trust, but also enables us to get involved at a local level and actively engage as a team through annual workdays and awareness campaigns.

Forest Stewardship Council

We use FSC accredited paper - which means our clients can be assured that the paper they choose comes from a certified forest that's managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations.

The FSC label guarantees that the trees that are harvested and replaced or allowed to regenerate naturally. Parts of the forest are protected entirely, in order to protect rare animals and plants.

Inks

All our print is produced using vegetable based inks - these oils can be made from a variety of vegetables such as corn, walnut, coconut, linseed, canola and soy-beans, which are all renewable resources.

In addition, once the jobs are printed, the printing presses can be cleaned using a water based cleaner as opposed to ones which are high in solvents, vegetable inks are easier to de-ink, assisting in the overall recycling process.

Recycling & Waste

All of our paper waste is recycled and we have strived to reduce the inevitable waste involved in producing our products and services. We are continuously looking at ways to reduce this further.

In our studio, we operate a paperless order management system and our large recycling bins allow us to reduce as much waste as possible.
