Well done to printing.com and their customers who have reached the target of 25,000 trees to be planted this year.
Their new target is a massive 50,000 trees!
Printing.com will plant one tree for every 8 jobs they print. You can read all about it here.
Printing.com's success, according to its founder and CEO Tony Rafferty, is fixed in its 'hub and spoke' structure and centrally controlled supply chain, which gives it better cost-efficiency than other high-street firms. By centralising production, the company can deliver jobs requiring giant commercial printing presses, which offers customers faster print times at reduced costs.

 "Caring for the environment is fundamental to everything we do.
Our business works because we're as efficient as possible. We use as few resources as we can. Fewer resources mean less waste. But we're never content. All our processes are constantly refined to ensure that we minimise waste. What waste we do produce, we separate into seventeen distinct streams for easy recycling or reprocessing. We compact all of our waste paper to minimise transportation, prior to being recycled. Our printing plates are recycled and our used chemicals are disposed of responsibly.

We use vegetable-based inks, pumped straight from large drums, rather than smaller cartridges in wasteful packaging. And talking of packaging, we've drastically reduced the volume of waste we pass on. All of our cartons are produced from unbleached board.
We've introduced many new products printed on 100% recycled paper. Where possible, the rest of our paper stock is made from wood pulp which is Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF). All pulp is sourced from sustainable forests, where trees are farmed as crops - just like wheat."
