Pagefast is very mindful of the need to protect the environment and below is a summary of the policies of ourselves and our suppliers, in particular our paper merchants:
Paper: We are mindful that our merchants supply paper from companies who comply with Environmental Management System standards: ISO
14001 and have EMAS registration (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme). This specifies manufacture from managed, sustainable forests with safeguards for wildlife and diversity of species. They also assure us
that stocks used for your work are guaranteed Totally Chlorine Free (TCF). If you require further details or information about any of our paper products, I can supply copies of accreditation and/or
Environment Policy Statements direct from the mills.
As printers, we create the usual printer's waste and have a responsibility to dispose of these items with companies registered with the Environment Agency, North West Region.
Prepress: We separate and quarantine all chemicals used in the film/plate making process and recycle with our used printing plates
through Environmental Chemical Control (Reg No LAN/490816). This waste is labelled at every collection and itemised under a 'Duty of Care Transfer Note.'
Printers waste: General dirty rubbish including ream wrap, cartons, general packaging, wipes and office waste are stored in covered
skips. In addition, we deposit clean white printers waste (PCW - Post Consumer Waste) for recycling. The contents of the skips are disposed through L Capstick Waste Reclamation Services (Reg No
LAN/490065). This waste is also itemised under a 'Duty of Care Transfer Note.'
