The Environment and Creekside

Printing.com @ Creekside Design to Print Ltd have an environmental management system which has been assessed by BSI and has achieved a certification for ISO 14001, the environmental standard. This means an independent auditor keeps an eye on the progress being made.

The paper used is from well managed forests and an increase in the number of recycled and FSC approved papers are used.  Any unavoidable waste paper is compacted and recycled and we separate all other waste into seventeen distinct streams for recycling or reprocessing.

Our printing plates are recycled and used chemicals are disposed of responsibly.  They ensure that any chemicals used within the printing processes are disposed of within strict guidelines and all their waste paper is stored and sent for recycling.  To read more about FSC paper, please go to their web site www.fsc.org.

Over the past few years printing.com have planted 60,000 trees with our partners, Tree Appeal and David Bellamy.  We’re doubling our target and would love your help with our campaign to plant 100,000 Trees for Schools.  If you think there’s anything else we should be doing to act responsibly, please e-mail lovething@printing.com.
