Managing director Alan Ryan, owner of Technoprint, a UK independent supplier of patient information leaflets (PILs), outlines some of the ways the business makes sure it stays ahead of the game when it comes to sustainability. From credentials to E-PILs, Alan delves deeper into the topic of leaflets, packaging and sourcing products sustainability.
Key insights:
- Technoprint has been awarded an EcoVardis gold sustainability rating, covering the four areas of environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.
- Lightweight paper, such as Pharmalite, allows all the information to fit onto larger paper whilst the packaging, weight, transport etc does not change.
- More businesses are choosing to buy British in order to save on fuel and travel costs as well as reducing air miles and the impact on the environment.
Sustainability is a hot topic across the board and the printing industry is no different. Businesses from SMEs to large corporations are feeling the pressure to make sure they are green and have squeaky clean environmental and CSR strategies.
