Environmental Overview

Newstyle Printing believes that excellence in environmental management is integral to being a successful business.

We have a comprehensive recycling programme which is actively implemented and monitored to recycle all waste paper, plastic, cardboard aluminium plates, wooden pallets, chemical drums, laser toner cartridges, inkjet cartridges, single use batteries, fluorescent tubes and drink containers.

Throughout our manufacturing processes we use inks which are formulated to maximise vegetable oil content.
