The Printing Industry...

Waste

The print industry generates relatively high levels of waste, with many printing presses having used large amounts of paper before they have even produced their first useable print.

Although waste inks can be recycled or mixed to form black ink and then re-used, this rarely happens and the majority of waste ink is encased in concrete in special landfill sites.

Other waste includes wooden pallets, plastic wrapping, ink tins, paper (especially off-cuts) and glass. Much of this could be recycled but the majority ends up at landfill, as there is currently no legislation to enforce recycling.

With digital print there is no need to encase it in concrete and send it to landfill, simply hit delete and send it to your computers recycling bin. Your digital publications can be kept online or on CD for as long as you wish.
