Environmental

We promote the protection of the environment throughout our processes and within the work place. Where possible, we use materials that are recycled and encourage the use of paper from sustainable forests as well as ECF (elemental chlorine free) and TCF (totally chlorine free) papers.

Our chemicals are approved substances and are only recycled through Environment Agency registered and licensed companies in conformance with the 2005 Hazardous Waste Directive.

Our state-of-the-art machinery is designed to reduce chemical waste and energy consumption as part of a concerted effort on behalf of the company to implement a code of environmental best practice. We aim to achieve the ISO 14001 standard as recognition of the company’s efforts to minimise its impact on the environment.

We are particularly proud to be one of the first companies in the UK to use the new chemistry-free, Brillia Pro-T plates from Fuji in our computer-to-plate systems. These revolutionary plates require no processing after exposure and eliminate the use of harmful developer. In addition to this we have recently moved to entirely alcohol free production on our new primary press, the Komori Lithrone 528+c.
