With the use of UV cured ink systems, energy usage is minimised and there are no solvent emissions to pollute the atmosphere. Substrates are bought from an extensive and fully developed supply chain that has evolved with a growing commitment to the environment and generally meets its needs. Materials are bought as fully converted products and accepted as low in risk to health.
Our envirnonmental priorities:
- Avoid the use of materials that are toxic to humans or the environment
- Encourage the design and development of products based on raw materials coming from sustainable sources
- Encourage the reduction in the amounts of materials used, to use recycled components, to support the recovery of the product organically or regain the energy from it
- Better manage our waste and have effective routines around waste reduction and waste recycling
- Minimise carbon footprint through efficient logistics and energy efficiency
- Support customer environmental initiatives through a wide range of environmental labelling solutions
- Help promote environmental awareness and develop environmental strategies with customers through workshops and seminars, and by offering "green alternatives" in tender submissions
