Printwell - Caring about our world
Printwell cares - about print - about the environment - about you.
At Printwell we take our responsibility to the environment extremely seriously. The printing industry has a less than spotless record for its environmental impact - especially as we know that 21% of corporate printed material never leaves the office.
The paper industry is also one of the largest water polluters in the world. We encourage the use of recycled paper that reduces water pollution by 35% , reduces air pollution by 74% and eliminates many toxic pollutants.
Printwell is committed to recommending paper manufactured from recycled pulp wherever possible and if the quality of the finished product will not directly impact on the product's communication objectives. Where recycled paper cannot be used for reasons of price, quality, availability or technical requirements of the printing or finishing methodology, we will recommend an approved paper, which has been proven to give good value, and is manufactured from virgin pulp produced from renewable managed forests and is either ECF or TCF approved. Printwell is also committed to recommending the use of bio-degradable polythene ,

- Our plate-making equipment is chemical-free and reputably the most environmentally-friendly in the world
- Our vehicles run on liquid gas
- We use paper which is 100% post waste or where it is not possible we use paper from sustainable forest sources
- All waste paper is collected and recycled
- All chemicals are safely disposed of
- All metal plates and films are recycled
- All inks are vegetable based (less solvent air pollution)
- We work with suppliers to ensure they recognize and reduce the environmental impact of their products or services
We are 100% committed to reducing our impact on the environment. Our comprehensive Environmental Policy covers every aspect of our business. This is reinforced via innovative training, communication and constant re-appraisal of working methods .
