A DEVON printed-packaging company has revealed that last year (2021) it sent more than 95% of its factory and office waste to be recycled (March 2022).
Newton Print Ltd said it generated 3,582kg of waste and 95.2% of it (3,410kg) was recycled with Coastal Recycling in Exeter, 4.5% was used to generate electricity and 0.3% (100kg of waste ink) was sent to landfill.
Simon Besley, Sales and Marketing Director at Newton Print in Newton Abbot, which specialises in assisting artisan, start-up and SME food and drink producers to bring their products to market on time, said: “We were thrilled to find out that more than 95% of the waste we generated was recycled and that just 0.3% was sent to landfill.
“We have strict environmental policies and are one of only a handful of UK printers who are carbon balanced, so sustainability is top of our priorities list, which is why we’re thrilled that such a small amount of our waste has gone to landfill. Of course, we can always do better and hope to beat this figure in 2022.”
