Environmental Policy

Here at Hot Metal Press we take the environment and what we do to it very seriously.

General

We aim to minimise our impact on the environment and make sure our production is as ‘green’ as possible while minimising cost to the client.

Fuel & Energy

We strive to minimise power & fuel consumption and look to minimise our gas and electricity consumption as much as possible.

Inks & Solvents

We endeavour to use water based inks and minimise the use of solvents whenever possible.

Paper & Card

We are working towards exclusive use of FSC certified paper stocks in our factory.

FSC certified paper uses wood pulp which is sourced in an environmentally friendly, socially responsible and economically viable manner from a well-managed forest.

As well as helping to improve the environmental impact of our work, these paper stocks provide a higher quality print. These paper stocks contain less imperfections so are brighter and smoother, providing a more vibrant colour reproduction.

To find out more about the FSC standards please visit www.fsc-uk.org

Plastics

We aim to minimise plastic use wherever possible especially single use plastics.

Waste

All paper waste is disposed of responsibly and securely.

All industrial waste is disposed of carefully and safely.
