100% of the paper and corrugated waste
generated in production is recycled. We have a mixture of large tote bins
and a waste extraction system. The extraction system sucks corrugated and paper
waste directly into large compactor skips which are taken away for recycling by
our partners at GBM Waste Management. Likewise any paper waste that cannot be
put into the extraction system is placed in tote bins which are emptied into
'paper waste only' skips, that also go for recycling.
We even pre-sort our office paper waste,
sending regular deliveries of office waste paper for recycling.
We only use water based ink pigments so
grey water from washing out ink systems is processed, filtered and cleaned by
our water suppliers, in the same way they process other grey water.
Our warehouse staff recycle and repair
in-house any
damaged wooden pallets we receive back from customers, so we minimise any
wood-based waste. What little there is is recycled locally.
We separate any plastic and other
non-recyclable waste. Currently we are averaging a 93.5% recoverability rate
for all waste generated in the factory, the remaining 6.5% is non-recyclable and
general waste
We hold ISO14001 Environmental
accreditation and work hard to make sure are as kind to the environment as
possible. |
