Environmental
Our printers continuously strive to improve their environmental performance and make this a key factor in all current and planned manufacturing activities. As part of their ongoing commitment to minimising the impact on the environment throughout the Group, they have successfully gained the ISO 14001 certification from UKAS. Using  EMS (Environmental Management Systems) to ensure  compliance with all relevant legislation, their usage is monitored and measured, audits are regularly carried out to ensure the systems efficiency and constant improvement programs and initiatives are in place to ensure continuous improvement.

NEWSPAPERS SUPPORT RECYCLING - RECYCLED PAPER MADE UP 80.6% OF THE RAW MATERIAL FOR UK NEWSPAPERS

Our printers  are committed to purchasing paper responsibly to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve resources. All newsprint purchased is from sustainable sources. Our printers promote environmental awareness among all employees and train in the efficient use of materials.

As well as ensuring minimum wastage of our products, all our newsprint (both printed and unused), cardboard, wrappings and consumer packaging is sent for recycling. All chemicals used are disposed of safely by specialist waste coordinators, all plastics are sent for cleaning and recycling and aluminium plates used for printing are melted and recycled
