Reducing our impact on the environment is something that we at Fisherprint take
extremely seriously and we are proud of our clean, safe printing production environment.
We continually strive to endorse the best green printing and waste management practice
throughout our print business to achieve this.
We were among the first printing companies to attain the Forestry Stewardship Council
Chain of Custody accreditation (FSC), which means we are permitted to label our
paper print products with the FSC logo.
This enables customers worldwide to recognise that their products have been manufactured
in support of responsible forest management as part of our sustainable printing
commitment.
Please contact us using the enquiry form for an FSC Product Group List.
Our printing processes use vegetable-based inks instead of harmful solvents and
to ensure that we operate an effective recycling policy we use a sophisticated ink
barreling system that takes ink directly to the printing presses, reducing waste
and virtually eliminating the disposal of tins through landfill.
As an environmentally responsible printing company we have also installed a waste
extraction and compacting system to efficiently handle all paper-based waste from
our finishing department for recycling purposes.
This and other eco printing measures we have implemented resulted in us achieving
the environmental accreditation ISO 14001.
Our comprehensive energy policy minimises our impact on the environment by promoting
only energy efficient print practices and processes at all times, giving our customers
the guarantee they need that they are working with a printing company that takes
its corporate social responsibility seriously.
