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. |

We have a programme for economising on water consumption: |
• |
Cisterns and urinals have water saving devices. |

Water taps have automatic cut- off systems. |

Our transport policy is under review |
• |
Delivery routes are being re-designed to minimise fuel use. |

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. |

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. |
