1)	Our management team are working as a group on ‘Waste Minimisation’ at the point of production.
•	Emphasis is on printing the job correctly the first time to reduce waste.
•	All waste materials are separated at the point of production and all suitable paper is saved and collected by a Recycling company.
•	Cardboard packaging and paper cores are recycled.
•	We are working with our suppliers to recycle all their wooden pallets.
•	We collect plastic end bungs from our paper rolls for return to the supplier.

2)	We have a programme for economising on water consumption:
•	Cisterns and urinals have water saving devices.
•	Water taps have automatic cut- off systems.

3)	Our transport policy is under review
•	Delivery routes are being re-designed to minimise fuel use.
•	Vehicles are replaced with ‘low emission’ vehicles as they are renewed.

4)	A representative of Repropoint sits on the Chamber of Trade Environmental Committee to investigate further improvements and to ensure that we co-operate with the Local Authority programmes.

5)	We have expanded our service department to re-furbish plan printing machines. When we sell new equipment, whenever possible we remove and refurbish the old machine.

6)	We have an agreement with our main plotter supplier, Hewlett Packard, to collect all old, large format plotters for re-cycling. We collect obsolete equipment and recycle it even if we are not selling a new unit.

7)	Accounts and Sales Office
•	All offices have paper re-cycling bins as well as general waste bins.
•	Paper from laser printers, faxes etc., is padded and the reverse used for notepads.
•	Toner cartridges are collected for recycling.
•	Old catalogues and brochures are recycled.
