Our Sustainability
sustainable practices for future generations
We’re doing our best to make print as sustainable as possible.
These are the practices we currently have in place and are constantly researching and evaluating how we can improve.
sustainably-farmed resources
Paper is one of the worlds most renewable resources.
Speedy Print’s paper supplies come from manufacturers that use wood pulp from purpose planted tree farms that are well managed using sustainable practices.
Recycled Paper Stock
Speedy Print offers eco100 as a paper stock option. It is a first-class, environmentally responsible uncoated paper, produced using FSC® Certified, 100% Post-Consumer Recycled, PCF pulp. Manufactured under the strict ISO14001 Environmental Management System, eco100 boasts internationally recognised environmental accreditations - Blue Angel, Nordic and EU eco-labels and the Austrian Environmental Label.
Toner Cartridge Recycling
We recycle all our used printer cartridges, drums and fusers through our partnership with Fujifilm New Zealand.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Pretty standard practice nowadays. Print produces a lot of paper scraps and offcuts. We ensure these, along with any other recyclable waste, is recycled rather than refused.
In addition, we buy consumables and paper in bulk, and make as much of our own packaging in-house, in an effort to reduce our plastic use and carbon footprint.
We’re funding the planting of native nz trees
We’re working with Trees That Count to mitigate (parts of) our carbon footprint over the next 50 years, and help protect New Zealand’s threatened biodiversity. That’s good for our carbon footprint and good for Aotearoa.
We have decided to partner with Trees That Count in two ways:
- We have committed to funding the planting of one tree a month.
- We are giving our customers the opportunity to add a tree to their cart when purchasing with us. For every tree one of our customer funds, we will match your purchase. That’s the best two-for-one deal you’ve ever come across!
