Environmental impact of our operations

Soar Printing takes a keen interest in environmental issues and has stringent policies in place to limit or eliminate the environmental impact of our operations.

A core part of our environmental policy is a review process that allows us to continuously improve our processes. By adopting current best practices, and being prepared to upgrade them whenever an opportunity arises, we set a standard for others in our industry to follow.

Our environmental policy touches every part of our operation. When Purchasing for new equipment, we look for energy efficiency and longevity; we choose environmentally-friendly inks and papers sourced from sustainable forests; we recycle as many waste products as possible; and we have systems and procedures in place to dramatically reduce waste and resources in keeping with out sustainability program.
