 J&G Environmental At Newstec
Thursday 28th April 2005
On Stand 503 Queens Award winners J&G Environmental, specialists in waste management for the printing industry, will be illustrating their ability to supply solutions designed to ensure every customer not only complies with all the latest Regulations and Codes of Practice but also operates cost-effectively by recycling as much waste as possible.
Although in recent years the amount of waste being disposed of correctly has increased, this has been brought about by increasingly tough legislation rather than any great concern for the environment.
J&G believe the best way forward to help printers meet both their legislative requirements and help save the environment at the same time is to recycle as much waste as possible.
Until quite recently recycling has been largely ignored in favour of the dump-it option. Only recently has it started to make some headway.
But many printers are surprised to be told that up to 85 percent of the millions of tons of waste generated by printers can be recycled as new processing technology and equipment comes on stream.
There is almost no printing industry by-product that can't be recycled or reused in some way. From aluminium plates to empty drums, light tubes to wooden pallets, drinks cans to CDs, chemicals to press blankets - all have a useful life beyond landfill, either being turned into raw materials and going back into the manufacturing chain, or being made directly into other useful products.
A visit to Stand 503 could prove to be rewarding for printers wanting to improve their waste disposal operations.
