Spectral Design & Print is based in Hampshire and our team consists of professionals
with
a
wide range of expertise. We offer a full fulfillment service from literature printing, stationery storage, lamination, binding, packaging and postage of paper based products. All of these
services running alongside our core business of litho and digital printing and signage.
At Spectral, all our team initiates and gives full support to our environmental policy.
As a responsible company we intend to grow and develop in a sustainable manner.
However, we recognise that our operations have an impact on the environment and
we are committed to reducing this.
We are committed to continually improving our environmental performance and we are
developing an environmental management system (EMS) to achieve this in a
structured
way.
The company will provide the human and financial resources required to implement the EMS.
We are developing environmental performance indicators to help us to assess our current
and future level of environmental performance. This will also enable us to benchmark our performance against similar companies and industry standards.
- Integrate environmental management into our day-to-day business operations to ensure environmental issues are addressed, whilst providing a quality product to all our customers.
- Comply with all relevant environmental legislation, regulations and requirements.
- Reduce our use of natural resources such as energy and water.
- Reuse resources whenever possible rather than dispose of them.
- Encourage the use of recycled and environmentally responsible materials and where possible use FSC grade papers.
- Give advice and offer environmentally friendly printing options to all our customers.
- Provide appropriate environmental training for all our people and encourage them to support this programme.
- Ensure all of our suppliers have a clear environmental policy.
- Only use couriers who have a commitment to cutting carbon emissions for our domestic and international deliveries.
In addition to these major steps, we are also addressing the issue of Eco friendly inks for
both our litho systems, and our digital systems. In the instance of our outdoor
large format machine, we have moved from full solvent based inks, to Ecosolvents –
a much less
aggressive ink providing pretty much the same result in terms of gamut and UV stability.
100% of our paper waste is recycled – either by us, or via our waste contractor
