About Us // Eco print and eco policy
We work with leading paper providers to ensure we are able to offer an extensive range of recycled and forest certified qualities - as standard we provide a quote for the recycled alternative on all jobs to enable customers to make an informed decision and help them improve their own environmental standards wherever possible. We offer advice to our customers to enable them to make their print as green as possible.
We are FSC and PEFC certified and use these papers as standard. This enables our customers to opt for a product using paper from well-managed forests and use the FSC or PEFC logo on their print without incurring any additional cost.
Ensuring best practice on each job
Our supplier relationships on green products enable us to negotiate better prices which we can pass on to our customers and attempt to make an environmental choice a more affordable option.
We take time to understand customers´ needs to assess feasibility of batch printing solutions which reduce production waste - these can also offer massive cost savings to customers.
Ensuring best practice in our business
From day one at Redwood we have employed an Environmental Officer to ensure that we establish and regularly audit environmental standards in the business.
We have chosen to centralise our production - this has the effect of reducing unnecessary waste of energy and resources.
All our own marketing and stationery items are produced on 100% recycled paper.
We separate, re-use and recycle all waste unavoidably produced in the production process.
We adopt environmental policies wherever possible including utilising energy provided from renewable sources, and recently invested in an environmentally friendly heating solution for our production facility which reduces carbon dioxide generation by up to half that of a standard solution. We also run a green office with policies overseen by our Environmental Officer such as turning off unneeded lights and computer equipment, and re-use of paper.
We are fully compliant with the Hazardous Waste Act 2005 and waste is segregated and collected for recycling by licensed contractors.
All refreshments used in our Redwood Expresso facility are fair-trade sourced. Where customers choose to make a donation to these, this is donated directly to Carbon offset projects.
We are FSC and PEFC certified and are currently working towards ISO14001.
