ecoprint-system4™ : Encourage Recycling

Aim: To maximise the recycling of products generated by our processes.

The issues: The issue of waste and what to do with it is of great relevance to commerce. Recycling the waste you generate is one way of alleviating the problem of waste generation. It reduces the pressure on landfill, the costs of disposal, and provides a opportunity to create useful products from waste streams.

Why ecoprint-system4™?

ecoprint-system4™ uses a number of recycling schemes to ensure that we limit our contribution to landfill waste and reduce our costs of disposal. They include:

a] The collection of all waste paper for recycling.
b] We use waste paper in our print production process to create our eco4pac packaging materials.
c] All spare inks are taken away for recycling into new ink.
d] Aluminium printing plates are recycled
e] The studio and pre press departments have recycling systems for office based paper waste.
f] We use recycled paper as our stock papers for print production and include information on the papers in our quotes.

Customer benefits from the ecoprint-system4™ recycling policy:

Reduced overheads give competitive pricing

Experienced at printing on recycled stocks

High levels of wastage are a bottom line cost in the print production process which invariably mean higher pricing therefore a recycling policy will reduce the dependence on disposal. By actively seeking to use recycled materials in our print production we are helping to create a healthy market for recycled goods and have become very experienced in print production using recycled paper. And because we buy recycled materials in healthy quantities we are not being penalised price wise for using recycled stocks. In fact, like for like, recycled stocks are priced exactly the same as there FSC virgin equivalents.
