Environment

Caring for the environment is fundamental in everything we do.

We use as few resources as we can.  Fewer resources mean less waste.  All our processes are constantly refined to ensure that we minimise waste.  What waste we do produce, we separate into seventeen distinct streams for easy recycling or reprocessing.  We compact all of our waste paper to minimise transportation prior to be recycled.  Our printing plates are recycled and our used chemicals are disposed of responsibly.

We use vegetable based inks, pumped straight from large drums, rather than smaller cartridges in wasteful packaging.  We have also drastically reduced the volume of waste we pass on to you.  All of our cartons are produced from unbleached board.

We have many products printed on 100% recycled paper and where possible, the rest of our paper stock is made from wood pulp, which is Elemental Chlorine Free (ECP).  All pulp is sourced from sustainable forests, where trees are farmed as crops just like wheat.

Also Printing.com has teamed up with Tree Appeal And Professor David Bellamy to give companies the opportunity to make a real difference with regards to the environment.  Printing.com will plant a tree for every eighth order placed.  So whether its business cards, leaflets or folders you know you’re helping the environment.
