Environmental Practices
The benefits of using paper
"There aren't many industries around that can aspire to becoming genuinely sustainable. The paper industry, however, is one of them; it is inherently sustainable."
- Jonathan Porritt, Chairman UK Sustainability Development Commission & Founder Forum for the Future
The Print Group Australia is conscious of our corporate responsibility and accountability to the environment and takes care to ensure we are doing everything possible to minimise our environmental footprint. At the same time, we also want to highlight that there are many benefits to using paper in today's digital world and that is a very sustainable communications medium.
Two Sides is an organisation that talks about the "Myths and Facts – Countering misconceptions about Print and Paper". We invite you to read about it further in our blog We're sure you'll agree – it's a fascinating read.
Environmental statement
As green as can be for better future.
At The Print Group Australia we care about the environment and we're constantly looking for new sustainable business practices that minimise our environmental footprint. We are proud to say that The Print Group Australia does place importance on climate change and sees it as a global challenge and one where we can make a difference. We will continue to implement procedures to ensure the reduction of waste, emissions and resource consumption within our company. Here are just a few ways in which we do our part.
- Machine parts are sent away for refurbishing
- Machine toner is sent away for cleaning and refilling
- Each fortnight our waste paper is picked up by Paper Recyclers
- Cardboard waste is also picked up and recycled
- All computers are shut down at the end of each day
- All lights are turned off when leaving the premises every day
- Our air conditioning is kept at 24°C
- Print to Order. By only printing what the customer needs today we limit the likelihood of producing too much and throwing away out dated stock
You can read more in our blog about the ways in which we contribute to our environment.
