Direct mail and print are environmentally friendly:

The UK printing companies also ensure we are brilliant for the environment too. This is why we use sustainable forests from Europe. The production of the material is obviously a environment concern. Although, while it is assumed that making paper destroys forests, the opposite is true – forests grew by 44,000 square meters – that’s bigger than Switzerland! Paper is also the most recycled material and is the only material that can be completely recycled. So the printing process, that must be bad for the environment? It is constantly becoming more environmentally friendly, refining its materials and processes to reduce its impact. This is done through the use of vegetable based inks, recycling cleaning solvents and waste and offsetting any remaining carbon emissions.
