At Central Colour, we have always taken our Environmental
responsibilities seriously, even when deciding on the best press option for us.
We are completely IPA and alcohol free in our print room,
ensuring our chemical use is at its minimum.
Not only are our inks vegetable based but all our waste
ink is recycled and used for renewable energy. The used ink tins are also
recycled and typically end up becoming road signs. Even our coating unit is
waster based, ensuring even our luxury finishes are doing their bit to limit
their impact on our environment.
Our Plate
developer is neutralised, then blended with organic matter, the composite blended
is allowed to decompose under regulated conditions. The decomposed matter is
then tested by the regulating authority before further blending and
distribution. The final Product is used as compost. Over 95% of material is
recycled.
With various recycling bins around our factory and offices,
we have reduced our waste collection from 6 skips per week down to just 1 skip
per week.
Central Colour is currently FSC licenced and are working
towards ISO14001. We currently support the World Land trust in their Carbon
balanced paper scheme. This gives you the opportunity to carbon balance your
printed material and help the World Land Trust in securing more land for conservation
and ensuring more carbon is locked in.
In summary, our efforts to reduce our impact on the
environment give you the confidence that your printed material is produced with
a conscience. You are then able to demonstrate this to your customers by using
the relevant logos
