Anglo is truly committed to managing and reducing any significant environmental impacts through its environmental management system
We take our environmental responsibility very seriously. We have already achieved ISO 14001 accreditation and where possible, we always advise our clients on the most cost effective environmentally friendly option for their print requirement.
Our Environmental Policy is summarised below:
Management of packaging waste
Packaging waste is inevitable in our business. However, our aim has been to reduce volumes and mitigate the impacts. Incoming waste cardboard and plastic pallet wrap continue to be baled for recycling by approved waste recycling contractors to divert these materials from landfill.
Reducing energy consumption
We have been implemented programmes to help reduce our carbon output through initiatives to manage our use of fuel by controlling business travel and by effective fleet management. The emissions and fuel consumption of the delivery fleet are monitored regularly. Delivery routes are constantly reviewed both to reduce costs and optimise mileage. All vehicles are serviced and maintained regularly in order to optimise performance.
Environmental and sustainable products
We continue to provide customers with an expanding choice of environmentally-preferred products. We have developed a range of products under the umbrella 'Happy Planet', which are selected on the basis of meeting stringent environmental credentials and fair terms of trade.
Happy Planet products are either manufactured from 100% recycled material (identified with the recycled logo) or are products where every effort has been made to reduce the burden on our environment.
Also included are Fairtrade products, providing growers with a fair purchase price for their products - something we are keen to endorse.
We
operate a toner and inkjet cartridge recycling scheme in conjunction
with Reclaim-It to provide clients with a safe, simple and certain
method of recycling empty toner and inkjet cartridges. Funds raised
are donated to a range of environmental charities.
Our range includes:
Recycled products - 100% only
Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) accredited papers
Ecover products - with the largest and most specialized ecological
purification laboratory in the world, Ecover develop products which do
not harm the natural environment
Fairtrade products - by
requiring companies to pay above market prices, Fairtrade addresses the
injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates
against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve
their lot and have more control over their lives
Durable range - computer cleaning products that are environmentally friendly and alcohol free. All wipes and cloths are fully biodegradable, bottles and tubs are 100% recyclable and all products are non irritant
