tree appeal

I am the owner of the Ashford branch of printing.com, we are based in the Park Mall Shopping Centre. Printing.com are a fast full colour printer with a chain of nearly 200 stores across the country.

We produce business cards, stationery, brochures, booklets, flyers and all manor of promotional items.

We are trying to make a difference to the way we work by obtaining the ISO 14001. This is the accreditation which looks at our Carbon Footprint. Things we are doing to obtain this are: Recycle all our waste paper into 16 distinct streams, use vegetable based inks pumped from large drums rather than smaller cartridges in wasteful packaging, recycle our plates and dispose of our chemicals responsibly, all our paper is obtained from wood pulp from sustainable forests, just like farming wheat!

We planted 10 000 trees last year through the ‘Tree Appeal’ charity and are on schedule to plant 15 000 this year. We’re hoping that a couple of local schools will be helping us to plant them with us this year in their grounds and by the children that go there.
