1. Offer an 'Environmentally-Friendly' Mailing Option
We have introduced an alternative service using environmentally friendly products. This includes:
-
use of recycled laser paper;
-
use of recycled envelopes;
-
use of recycled printing paper;
-
using biodegradable polythene for polywrapped mail items, this is now used as standard;
-
reduced costs to capture 'undeliverables',
-
resulting in reduced waste for future campaigns;
-
providing proactive advice to our customers about alternative ways to produce their mail pieces, that reduces overall paper content.
Recycled content usually varies between 50% to 100% depending on preference and quality requirements. With the costs of recycled products coming down, you might be surprised to learn that the costs impacts for the environmentally-friendly option can be minimal. Sample products and comparative quotes are available on request.
2. Our Recycling Policy
As a company we recycle wherever possible whether it’s waste paper, cardboard, polythene or toner/ink cartridges.
3. Use of Products from Sustainable Resources
However whilst we appreciate everyone's needs are different and as such the environmentally-friendly option may not be suited to all mailing campaigns. It’s for this reason we provide you with both options giving you the choice as to whether you want to go for our green mailing option or our standard offering. Where the standard option is required, we will continue to work with our suppliers to ensure the all paper stock comes from forests that are sustainably managed.
