Print Solutions GreenPrint

Anglia Print has announced that it is one of the select businesses recognised as a winner of the 2016 Queen’s Award for Enterprise – the UK’s highest accolade for business success. The award was received for sustainable development.

The award is in recognition of pioneering achievements in the print sector and for actively addressing all potential sustainable impacts within its influence. Powered by 100% renewable energy with investment in waterless printing presses, using non soya vegetable oil based inks and a zero waste to landfill policy since 2005, Anglia Print has eliminated the use of all hazardous substances and water in production. Certified Carbon Neutral, the company uses materials from ethically and environmentally certified sources: 95% (by volume) of material purchases are Forest Stewardship Council certified or recycled.

Managing director John Popely said, ‘We are absolutely delighted with this recognition. This has been a team effort by our staff and I would like to thank them, our friends, customers and our suppliers who have stood by us while we have gone on this journey to become one of the highest achievers of environmental excellence in printing.’

Founded as Anglia Printing Services by Fred Popely in 1978, Anglia Print Ltd is based in Norwich and Beccles, Suffolk. It is one of only 12 printing companies in the whole of the UK to be EMAS (Eco Management and Audit Scheme) registered, which is the highest environmental accreditation available for businesses in Europe. The company supports individuals, businesses and charities within the local area. It helps employees achieve a good work-life balance and provides opportunities for skills and career progression, but the core of its business is producing high quality print, combined with excellent customer service, using leading edge technology with minimal environmental impact.
