We aim to print to the highest standards of environmental friendliness
possible with our equipment. Our standard stock is 100% post consumer
waste recycled paper (either evolve
papers , evercopy
or cyclus). We can get
a wide range of colours in recycled paper and card and recycled gummed
paper. But we still haven't been able to source recycled sticker paper.
If you live locally we are happy to supply you with small quantities
of our standard recycled papers at cost price (which, bearing in mind
we buy it in bulk, should make it cheaper than you could get on the
high street).
Our Riso machines use soya based inks, but the Konica is your standard
heat-fused toner digital printer, not at all eco-friendly.
We currently support tree planting through Treesponsibility
both financially and by volunteering. We don't agree with the idea that
planting a few trees can in any way 'offset' or counteract your carbon
usage. However, Treesponsibility isn't just about relieving carbon guilt
as they are actively reforesting our local area thus helping to prevent
erosion, increase bio-diversity and stabilise old slag heaps.
We don't print on glossy paper as we are under the impression that
either china clay will be used in its production, or it will be plastic-coated.
To see a China Clay open cast mine in Devon, England could visit
the site of photographers Adrian
Warren and Dae Sasitorn.
If you have any information on environmentally friendly printing products
then please get in touch. Any information on tree-free paper, British-made
high percentage post-consumer waste recycled paper, or recycled stickers would be appreciated.
