We continually examine every aspect of the business supply chain to ensure that we are buying from suppliers with the same ethos.
All printing ink is based on clean vegetable oil and supplied in eco-friendly packaging. We have on site mixing technology which allows us to mix colours as required to pin point accuracy making our waste close to zero!
All our paper is sourced from European Union FSC grade forests where more trees are planted for the future than are felled each year. This exacting standard is seen in the industry as the Gold Standard for responsible husbandry of forests. Indeed in the last year alone our suppliers planted many thousands of extra trees. All our paper is processed using Elemental Chlorine Free technology to avoid the production of damaging toxins.
Of course, we could buy cheaper! Using paper produced from trees felled from virgin rainforest and processed in ways which poison rivers and kill people!
Whilst re-using paper to make Newsprint and Packaging is environmentally sound, recycled paper just makes no sense at all. It is nothing more than hype pedalled by marketeers rather than people with a real interest in protecting our planet.
Until every newspaper and every piece of packaging is made from re-used material there is simply no logic in trying to clean 'dirty paper' back into pristine white sheets. That's why we are proud to say the you will find no further mention of recycled paper on this site!
