Environmental PrintingEnvironmental policy is sadly just more hot air unless it is practical, effective and readily understood. We manage our business so as to minimise its effect on the environment, and aim to provide clear, impartial advice on all print related environmental issues.

And here’s how we do it:The group has invested in an EcoClean Chemical Recycling System, which allows us to re use up to 80% of the chemical waste involved in the printing process. The remaining waste is made ph neutral on site before disposal. Accreditation to Environmental Management Standard ISO14001 was achieved in January 04.

Through Future Forests we ‘neutralise’ the negative carbon impact that the company generates by extensive sapling tree planting in the Standon Hey Forest. Our relationship with Future Forests means that specific publications can be made assessed and made carbon neutral on your behalf. We can prepare a concise, consumer-friendly environmental statement for you to print with your product, approved by the mill or paper merchant. Our research can guide you through the maze of logos, terms and claims carried by individual papers, merchants and mills – while our library is there to reference the most suitable product for your project’s requirements. Cousin also provides formal environmental consultancy – we can develop Environmental Management Systems from scratch all the way up to preparation for ISO14001 assessment.
