Caring for the environment

BREAKING NEWS: We’re delighted to announce we’ve been assessed by BSI Management Systems and have received certification for the environmental standard ISO 14001.

We are pleased to work with Printing.com as they are an ethical business. They work as efficiently as possible and use as few resources as they can. Printing.com are constantly refining their processes to minimise waste. They separate any waste into seventeen distinct streams for easy recycling or reprocessing. All our processes are constantly refined to ensure that we minimise waste. The printing plates are recycled and any used chemicals are disposed of responsibly.

Printing.com use vegetable-based inks, which are pumped straight from large drums rather than smaller cartridges which creates wasteful packaging. All of the cartons used in packaging are produced from unbleached board.

Many of the printing products are printed on 100% recycled paper. But all pulp is sourced from well managed forests, where trees are farmed ethically just like crops. The numbers of recycled and FSC approved papers being used is being increased all the time. When this is not possible the rest of their paper stock is made from wood pulp which is Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF).

What is really exciting is Printing.com’s commitment to planting trees. Whenever you place an order with us you contribute their goal of planting 100,000 trees with David Bellamy and the Tree Appeal.

Printing.com’s management systems have been assessed by BSI Management Systems and they have fulfilled the requirements of the Environmental standards ISO 14001: 2004.
