Printing with the Planet in Mind
Bambra maintains a no-fuss, common-sense approach to sustainability. We acknowledge the potential impacts that our operations can have on the environment and are committed to actively managing and minimising them through clever eco-endeavours.
We aim to make sustainable printing available to everyone and provide a range of eco-friendly printing choices that do not cost the earth. Ask us about our sustainably sourced, 100% recycled and carbon-neutral options.
FSC® Certified
We are proudly Forest Stewardship Council® certified (FSC® license code FSC-C169001). The FSC is a global not-for-profit organisation that sets the standards for responsibly managed forests, both environmentally and socially. We are authorised to apply the FSC on-product logo, which provides your customers with an assurance of responsible sourcing.
COC Program
The FSC Chain of Custody program follows the wood from the forest through to the final printed product. This means that we can guarantee that any FSC Certified materials we use are responsibly-sourced from sustainable growth forests, verified recycled content or controlled fibre.
Inks
Our inks are crafted for performance and environmental responsibility. They're PFAS-free, made entirely from renewable raw materials, and formulated with low VOCs and no mineral oils or heavy metals. Fully compliant with strict international environmental standards, they deliver rich, consistent colour with minimal environmental impact.
Recycling
Our recycling program covers just about everything - paper, printing plates, pallets, printer wipes, packaging and wrapping. Even our cleaning rags come from recycled clothing. It's all part of reducing waste and running our operations in the most environmentally responsible way possible.
Resources
Our new solar panels harness the power of the sun to help run our presses and facilities, cutting our reliance on grid energy. It's a clean, renewable way to keep Bambra running efficiently while reducing our carbon output.
Reduce
We focus on reducing waste and materials wherever we can. Digital proofs and online approvals cut paper and courier use, smart job planning minimises press waste, and careful ink and paper choices mean we deliver high-quality print while using fewer resources and keeping our impact on the environment low.
Finish
Our Heidelberg offset press uses environmentally friendly aqueous coatings that are water-based, low in VOCs, and free from harmful solvents. They provide excellent protection and finish while being fully recyclable and safer for both people and the planet.
Technology
Investing in modern technology means less chemical use and safer, low-VOC alternatives for dampening and cleaning. It keeps our process efficient, our team safe and our environmental impact lower.
