FM and the Environment

Everything we print is GREEN, don’t worry not literally!

We believe our customers should have the choice to be able to produce high quality print which has a reduced effect on the environment. That's why FM PRINT was one of the first companies in the country to implement systems in order to achieve the ISO 14001 accreditation.

We have been producing environmentally friendly print for over 20 years and have strived to continually improve since we started. We are an undisputable leader in this field

Paper is obviously our essential raw material. Our ISO 9001 Quality Management system allows us to control and minimise paper usage. We also actively encourage and advise on the use of recycled papers. The quality of our recycled paper is now so good that most of our customers are using it, 90% of jobs we produce are on recycled papers!!

All our litho print is produced using vegetable based inks, and with absolutely no alcohol. We also use processless plates meaning no nasty chemicals are used!

FM Print are one of a select group of printers to have achieved the FSC® certification. This certification guarantees that paper used in your print comes from a source supporting the growth of responsible forest management worldwide. Through us your literature can carry the prestigious FSC® certified logo.

We have recently offset our carbon footprint and are now carbon neutral. Using vegetable based inks and organic based solvents minimises emissions to the atmosphere.

So next time you place a print order, give yourself complete peace of mind with FM PRINT – the environmentally friendly print company.
