If you’ve looked into sustainable stationery, printing, or packaging, you’ve likely noticed the small “tree-tick” logo popping up everywhere. This symbol represents the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)—one of the most trusted organisations in global forest sustainability. But what exactly does FSC paper mean, and why do so many schools, companies, printers, and packaging providers emphasise its importance? Let’s break it down.
Over the last two years, we have undertaken a significant journey to minimise our environmental footprint and enhance the sustainability of our printing services. As a company dependent on materials, energy, and transportation, we see it as our duty to act responsibly—not only by optimising our operations but also by supporting initiatives that offset the carbon emissions we generate.
Following a rigorous testing process the eco-toners developed by Ricoh, and which are used on our digital press base, have been awarded a Smithers Pira Certificate of Conformity assuring EU food packaging legislation compliance.
As an eco-friendly printer, the materials and consumables we use must be environmentally friendly whilst able to perform to the highest standards.
