Recycling
We have a number of recycling systems in place. These systems are instrumental in
reducing our waste going to landfill.
PAPER AND CARD
We have a company wide system where all paper and card is recycled weekly through
Mastagard. All offices and work areas have recycling bins dedicated to paper and
cardboard recycling. Larger commercial quantities of media offcuts and packaging cores
are taken weekly for recycling by Mastagard.
PLASTICS
Plastics are cleaned and recycled through our Council yellow bin. We are currently
looking for a partner to recycle our empty ink bottles.
INK AND SOLVENTS
We supply Solvent Refiners Ltd all of our waste solvent for refinement. Through
a process of our printing technology, waste ink is created by a purging process to
keep all print heads clear of blockages. This ink is collected and transferred to larger
tanks in our dangerous goods store.
INK CARTRIDGES
Working with HP we recycle waste ink cartridges, heads, cleaning stations and waste containers.
These would typically go straight to landfill.
SYNTHETIC PAPER
Another big contributor to landfill has been synthetic paper. We have teamed up with
our supplier Aarque who we now return all our waste off-cuts back to Yupo Japan for recycling. Any posters on
this material can be returned for recycling.
FLUTE BOARD / CORFLUTE
We recycle all of our corflute offcuts through Mainland Recycling. This is the same material used
for real estate signs. We will happily receive your job back when youve finished with it and recycle it.
