We are committed as a company, to ensure that we prevent any avoidable pollution, reduce our environmental impact and become more energy efficient as well as reducing our carbon footprint. We are committed to adhere to all UK and European environmental legislation.

We already ensure that our waste is segregated into paper recycling and general waste. All of our waste paper goes for recycling. All of our chemicals and plates go to a company who specialise in waste control to the printing industry.

Our inks are Soya-Based (Vegetable Inks), we have reduced our Alcohol content in the printing process by 50%, our papers are from sustainable sources or fully recycled. We are currently working towards full FSC accreditation.

We are working with Envision to undertake a full environmental audit of the company to identify any further savings that can be made, and to reduce our carbon footprint.

We are corporate members of DEBI (Devon Environmental Business Initiative) and are also founder members of the Exeter REC (Resource and Efficiency Club). Working with these organisations we will be able to benefit from best practice networking of ideas.
