Why pursue ISO 14001 Environmental Management?

Environmental management in the Publishing and Print sector is becoming an essential component of any offering to the marketplace. A simple environmental policy statement with nothing real behind it is no longer sufficient to convince print buyers.

Certification to an international standard like ISO 14001 is the simplest option to show the market that you are serious and ahead of the game.

The environment issues in the sector are specific and challenging: Carbon footprinting, Paper and polymer based substrates, mineral oil or vegetable based inks, coatings and laminates, press chemicals, digital cartridges, equipment disposal, the shift to electronic proofing; UV and gravure materials, packaging and distribution, and energy use are all increasingly being examined in order to reduce the adverse impact upon the environment.
