What being environmentally friendly really means

The term environmentally friendly is one of the most misused terms, our research also reveals misunderstanding about the negative effect of using paper and paper-based products on the environment. Contrary to misinformed criticism, paper has an excellent environmental-friendly story to tell, as paper through managed forestry is a completely renewable and recyclable raw material.

Originzone is totally committed to the protection of the environment and the world’s forests. We only buy papers from leading paper merchants who source their products from well-managed, sustainable forests. As a result, we can offer a wide range of environmentally approved or recycled products. As leaders in digital print we actively promote reducing waste by encouraging and enabling clients to print in smaller quantities, helping to reduce obsolescence prior to use – which accounts for an estimated 30% of all printed matter! Reduce – Reuse – Recycle is the first law of environmentalism, and the sequence is deliberately in that order, so the first action is to review run-lengths.

We are also committed to continually reviewing and improving our production methods to minimise waste, maximise recycling and reduce our carbon footprint.
