The type of printed material we buy, how we specify it, who from and how we dispose of it all has a significant effect on the environment. Choosing carefully, taking the overall environmental impacts into account, makes a difference to your company's overall environmental performance.
Your company's literature is often the first thing a prospective customer sees. Does it fit in with the company's environmental policy?
Issues related to paper and print include:
- Sustainable management of forests
- Control of air and water pollution from mills
- Control of solvent emissions from printers
- Waste and energy management
We can check how much waste your stationery and literature buying produces, and advise on what can be done to control it. We can see if your suppliers use processes to reduce the effect of their operations on the environment, and advise them if they don't.
A supply chain review of your printers and paper suppliers will enable you to understand their effects, and to make environmentally informed decisions about what you buy and where from. And you will have the answers to all the questions your customers are likely to ask about the effects your brochures are having on the environment.
