OUR NOTTINGHAM FACTORY
Powered by renewable energy backed by REGO certificates with investment in power efficient technology.
A filtration plant cleans our water, and our press room is alcohol free. When it comes to carbon emissions, recycling and sustainability, there’s no doubt that the Print industry has contributed to the problem. Therefore, we’re working every day to help ourselves and our customers function more sustainably.
We are regularly reviewing our internal system to find new ways to reduce our carbon footprint and ensuring we surpass international standards.
UK SOURCED MATERIALS
Our FSC certified materials have full chain of custody. We can even source paper made of agriculture waste with 47% lower environmental impact than Standard paper, and 29% lower than standard recycled paper.
Our paper stocks can tell a story too; try old bank notes, seeded paper, used coffee cups, recycled denim or elephant poo!
