Home > About > Environmental Responsibility

DC Print is committed to making environmentally responsible choices to reduce the impact of our operations, not only in waste management but on the use of global resources as a whole.

Can a printer really be environmentally friendly? There are parts of our operation that have a lesser or greater affect and we are constantly reviewing new technology & materials to improve them.

We have achieved FSC accreditation (Forest Stewardship Council); the global organisation that actively manages the forests under its jurisdiction to ensure that sustainable logging is maintained and the social, economic and cultural well-being of the associated peoples are protected and improved into the future.
