Gaining FSC Accreditation is an important step for our business and tangible evidence of the success of our environmental initiatives.
FSC is an independent, non-
government, not for profit organisation that promotes responsible management of the world’s forests.
Recognised in over 50 countries,
it provides standard setting, trademark assurance and accreditation services for organisations interested in responsible forestry.
Products labelled FSC are independently certified to come from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations.
As more and more of our clients are questioning the sustainability aspects of their printing needs, our FSC Accreditation will allow those who want to monitor more closely their environmental impact to track and verify the use of environmentally responsible products in the production of printed matter.
In addition to FSC, we are a Platinum Member of 'Grow Me the Money', an initiative of the VECCI, the EPA and the state government to assist companies to develop, implement, measure and assess their environmental strategies.
Our in-house Computer to Plate system has eliminated the use of film and associated chemicals. In addition, our clients can upload large files to our FTP site, resulting in significant savings on the use of transport and power.
We use soy-based inks were possible and maintain a disciplined recycle programme for all materials used in every process – we even recycle the recycled rags we use in the factory.
