Sustainability is not something that we just talk about; we practice it and are continually working towards improving our environmental performance and reducing our impact on the environment. Because of this, our customers are able to enjoy the benefits of operating more sustainably simply by choosing our products and services when making purchasing decisions.

PAPER All of our paper stocks come from accredited well-managed forests and mills, and are produced according to international guidelines. Comprehensive information on different papers is readily available from our trained staff.

INK All our inks contain vegetable oils, fatty acid alkyl-esters and have less than one percent mineral oil. Less mineral oil in the ink structure means less volatile organic compounds emitted into the atmosphere.

PRINT All of our print processes are strictly monitored and controlled in accordance with our Environmental Management System. Digital print eliminates paper wastage and the use of harsh chemicals and solvents in the cleaning process. Water and air emissions are negligible and no ink is used in our digital print process. All toner cartridges are recycled or remanufactured in collaboration with Canon NZ. Our offset print is produced sustainably with less than two percent of waste from all production processes going to landfill.
