A Big Green Image
Our dedication to optimize our production for the environment runs like a green theme throughout our history. Our vision has always been to create maximum impact with our large format prints but still the smallest possible footprint on the environment.
Already in 1987 we started using water based inks in our machines. 2007 we were awarded Täby Municipality's Environment Award for our active and ambitious effort to develop environmentally friendly methods for our products and services. In early 2011, we received two more heavy receipts in the form of ISO certification for our dedicated work on the environment (ISO 14001) and quality (ISO 9001).
A clean deal
We want to offer a clean deal to our customers. We can always offer environmentally certified materials and printing techniques and produce your order with our carbon neutral production. Using us as your supplier should not only be a matter of receiving excellent quality, you should also be able to stand by your choice of supplier and feel fully confident that we take this matter very seriously.
Everyday green decisions
All the electricity we use is produced from wind power and our office in Täby is heated the most efficient way. All new staff cars are environmentally friendly cars, and all shipments we make to our clients are coordinated. Whenever we need to travel further, we always choose carbon compensated ways to travel if possible. We sort and recycle paper, metal, cardboard, household waste and plastic. All other waste is burned in a waste plant where the energy is turned into heat for households. Our deliveries are packaged in recyclable PE-based materials and corrugated cardboard. Our UV printers and sublimation printers uses only Nordic Swan-approved inks. Our Airbrush printers uses water-based inks. We also stopped using lead and we have a virtually PVC-free production.
