The Environment

At PrintedEasy.com we are very aware of our environmental impact.

Our Ethos

Printing in general is not an environmentally friendly process.

However, PrintedEasy.com believe in minimising any impact by using only papers from a sustainable source and inks that are purely vegetable oil based. Our pre-press including plate making is completely chemical free using no developers or fixers and leaving no waste liquids whatsoever. All aluminium plates are recycled. All off cuts and trimmings are pulped for newsprint and packaging, amongst other things. In short we throw virtually nothing away and anything we dispose of is via a licensed waste agency.

• All our papers are sourced from either 100% sustainable forests or are recycled.
• All our papers are manufactured to ISO 14001 and are chlorine free. A full environmental specification is available on request.
• We only use vegetable based inks as opposed to oil based inks. Again a specification is available.
• Paper trimmings whilst kept to a minimum are sorted and recycled.
• Overprinted matter that may contain client details is shredded in house before going off for recycling.
• No chemicals are used in the pre-press department. This means plates are produced completely dry, resulting in no waste chemicals to dispose of.

We work in partnership with My Skip to help promote active recycling and reducing landfill. Visit MySkip.com for more information.
