Forestry Stewardship Council
HPL are one of a small group of printing companies in the UK to
have achieved the prestigious FSC accreditation, allowing the incorporation
of the FSC logo on anything printed on FSC approved paper.
Environmental Management Systems
Paper, however, is only part of the story. We operate both ISO9001
(quality) and ISO 14001 (environment) management systems
Processless Plates
We have recently installed a Screen 4300 CtP pre-press system which
produces processless printing plates - no chemicals are used in
the process of platemaking
Inks
Our standard printing inks are produced from vegetable based oils,
reducing the impact of mineral oils and making for better recyclability
Waste Disposal
HPL currently recycle the following waste streams through certified
and approved waste contractors
- Paper trim and waste sheets
- Cardboard
- Used pallets
- Inks
- Plastic wrap
- Expired computer equipment and components
- Used litho plates
- Press chemistry
We continually aim to reduce our landfill waste by improving our
systems and purchasing policy
