Greenhouse Graphics, the current Basingstoke Environmental Business of the Year and Hampshire Sustainable Business of the Year, have recently upgraded their pre-press facilities with the installation of a £70,000 chemistry free plate-making facility which now means that their commercial printing process is completely hazardous waste free.

The company worked with Hazred, the government funded agency that aims to reduce hazardous waste emissions from SME’s, who confirmed the hazardous waste free status. This puts Greenhouse Graphics in a very small and elite group of print producers who can claim a ‘hazardous waste free’ status.

This investment fits perfectly within our ‘ecoprint-system4′ brand, which has proven extremely popular with customers looking for a sustainable supplier of graphic design, printing services and electronic media.

says MD Ian Crossley.

But the best part of this for our customers is that they are gaining cost savings on their purchases because we are not exposed to the very significant rises in Hazardous Waste disposal costs that are occurring and are likely to continue in the future. For businesses looking to save money, buy a sustainable product and gain the PR advantages associated with using our ‘ecoprint-system4′ brand, it really is a no-brainer.
