We are committed to improving our practices and reducing our impact on the environment. On initiating our Environmental Policy in 2009, we more than halved the volume of waste sent to land-fill each week. Over time we have made improvements such as - converting solvent printers to latex and UV curable alternatives. Reducing the number and volume of hazardous goods we use. Installed ventilation in production environments. Added 'better choice' eco products to our range and implemented company wide recycling initiatives.
IT'S IN THE INK. The majority of our printed products are produced using HP latex ink. These inks are non-hazardous, no HAPS, low VOC and create odourless prints. Printheads and ink cartridges are recycled through their take-back scheme. Other printing is produced using UV Curable ink which is also better for the environment due to its low VOC.

RESPONSIBLE HANDLING. We can't eliminate hazardous goods use completely. We manage the quantities that we carry and keep them to a minimum. We don't chuck everything in the skip either, it's all disposed of responsibly (see our recycling page).
SMALL STEPS. We are not going to greenwash you - we want you to know we are not perfect. What we can say, is that we are open minded and make changes where possible. This approach has seen us continuously evolve how we produce and purchase goods.
TREE PLANTING. Our commitment to the environment includes native tree planting with Trees That Count. We have committed to funding a minimum of 120 trees per year. Native trees improve our environment and biodiversity, and help our indigenous birds thrive. These will also remove about 26t of C02 over 50 years.
