By achieving the ISO14001
environmental standard
we prove that we
are as committed to the environment as we
are to our clients and our employees. Our
environmental responsibility is key to us, which is why we ensure that our
environmental impact is minimised
by
following these simple guidelines:
Continued improvement...
We are currently utilising sustainable
procurement with ongoing evaluations of
materials, solvent-free inks and water
based varnishes and coatings. FSC and PEFC certified and we have a glowing report for our carbon-offsetting programme.
A Team effort...
All of our employees undergo waste
management training. In-house segregation
of recyclable materials is well
established with non-recyclable waste
products being disposed of via approved
registered carriers to licensed
facilities. Currently we recycle around
50% of all waste generated at our site and we constantly guide our clients to
eco-friendly products. Our employees go
through rigorous Health and Safety
training when using any hazardous waste;
you may not find a greener print company.
Commitment...
Our company has been working to meet all
the current certified accreditation
systems. The Imprint Group is constantly
striving to improve methods of production, whilst reducing waste throughout the
production cycle including:
Eliminate
- Avoid producing waste in the
first place
Reduce
- Minimise the amount of waste we
produce
Re-use
- Use items as many times as
possible
Recycle
- Recycle what we can only after
we have re-used it
Dispose
- Dispose of what's left in a
responsible way.
Carbon offsetting...
With assistance from The University of
Newcastle upon Tyne the company carbon
footprint has been calculated and we are
in the process of offsetting this by up to 200%, making the supply of your point of
sale materials more than just carbon
neutral.
Rainwater capture...
At one site we have already introduced a
rainwater capture and filtering process to reduce water consumption in some of our
screen finishing process.
