Origin8 | Graphic Design And Print Agency, Shepreth

Being based in the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside, Origin8 Ltd are understandably extremely keen to protect our environment.

We appreciate that it's not just large manufacturing companies that can clean-up their acts - even a relatively small design & print company like ourselves can make a difference by implementing a host of small, yet fundamental, changes to the way our business is run.

As printers and designers, we're involved in the decision-making process right from the outset. This gives us a unique opportunity to encourage our customers to adopt solutions that have a minimal impact on the environment, such as the use of sustainable paper stocks from FSC-approved sources.

 It's a sad fact that printing is said to be the 4th most polluting industry in the UK. Given this, we're proud that we are printers using vegetable-based inks rather than solvent-based inks.Which helps to reduce volatile organic compound emissions - including greenhouse gases - by over 98%.
