Recycling Paper
Our main waste is paper, whilst we have always had recycling bins in our warehouse these have now been introduced to our print room and offices.
Cycle to work Scheme
The cycle to work scheme allows employees to purchase bicycles with a discount and the cost of the bike then comes out of their salary removing paying Tax and national insurance on the cost.
Electric car charging
We now have 4 electric car charging ports in our car park to encourage, promote and facilitate easy greener travel. Offering free electric car charging for all visitors and employees.
Wildflower Planting
We partnered with Green the UK and pledged to help plant 1 hectare or 9375 square metres of local wildflower meadows.
These carbon storage hotspots capture
twice as much carbon as forestry.
Carbon capture is a scheme where we counter balance our CO2 emissions created from our paper supply. Striving to be a eco printer tackling and addressing all aspects of print and our impact.
New Machinery
EDWPS has made a BIG investment in the Xerox Baltoro Inkjet press. It is cost quality optimised to ensure it runs efficiently with both value, volume and velocity.
Ink Cartridges
Being a Printer Ink is another one of our largest resources which is why we refill and recycle our ink cartridges. Another step on becoming an eco printer, covering all aspects of print.
LED Lights
We have switched all possible lighting in our print and mailing house to LED. With auto lights in many of the main areas and parts of the office to help ensure lights are not left on unnecessarily.
EDWPS has been diggin' in on a tree planting day with the Woodland Trust. Around 13,000 tree's where planted in one day!
Paper Wrap
EDWPS has helped develop a new way of doing paper wrap which makes it viable for small volumes. It is the environmentally friendly alternative to poly-wrap.
Two Sides
As a member of Two Sides - we help promote the sustainability of the print communication supply chain and educate potential users about common environmental misconceptions.
Hand dryers
ONE recycled paper towel creates 10g of CO2e and they can't be recycled. Whereas a Dyson Airblade generates 2g of CO2e.
Easy to see why EDWPS invested in these Dyson hand dryers.
We are ISO 14001 accredited which means that we already implement a framework for an effective environmental management system. However we don't want to stop just there!
We have been taking strides both big and small to make our business even more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Working hard to become an eco printer and being conscious of our impact.
We know there is still a long way to go but please join us on our journey to becoming a sustainable business.
