Our Paper
As our biggest raw material, we get asked many questions about paper and its sustainability. As a company, we are proud to be a member of Two Sides. Two sides have a huge amount of fantastic information regarding all things paper and sustainability and we would really recommend visiting their website https://www.twosides.info/ and reading the common myths around paper.
We can provide both FSC and PEFC paper for our customers, we are commonly asked: What does FSC mean?
Through continuous investments in more efficient machinery and practices, we are very proud of our low levels of wastage and are continuously looking to improve this further.
We would really recommend coming to visit us so see our plant for yourselves or ask any questions via your Key Account Manager or our Helpdesk.
Aluminium
Our second biggest raw material is our aluminium printing plates which are 100% recyclable after use.
Plastic
An area of growing concern for many of our customers we have provided a whole article on our plastic packaging here https://www.warners.co.uk/blog/plastic-packaging
Waste
Fifteen years ago as much as 25% of our waste material ended up a Landfill site but now, through investment in new technology, education and training and waste segregation less than 0.05% of our waste is landfilled! So now, rather than a hindrance and yet another cost to the business, most waste streams are viewed as a source of extra income.
- Collection facilities are available in all offices and work areas promoting greater segregation of Recyclable materials.
- The overall aim is to reduce our waste to zero and as at the end of 2015 99.6% of Warner’s generated waste was sent for re-use, recycling or recovery
