At Peterborough Print, we are committed to minimising our environmental impact and continuously improving our environmental performance. Sustainability is central to our operations, and we strive to offer eco-conscious printing solutions that support both our customers and the planet.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
We recognise the importance of reducing our environmental footprint and actively work to make our processes more sustainable. Our key practices include:
- Reducing waste across all aspects of production
- Recycling paper, packaging, and other materials wherever possible
- Optimising energy and water use in our daily operations
- Supporting sustainable choices throughout the supply chain
Eco-Friendly Digital Printing
We specialise in digital printing, a method that significantly reduces waste compared to traditional printing techniques. Digital print allows for:
- On-demand production, reducing overprinting and excess inventory
- Lower chemical use, as no printing plates are required
- More efficient setup, saving time and resources
This approach ensures we minimise waste and energy use while maintaining high-quality print output.
FSC® Certified Papers
We use FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) certified papers wherever possible, ensuring that the materials we use are sourced from responsibly managed forests. This guarantees:
- Protection of ecosystems and biodiversity
- Ethical labour and community rights
- Sustainable forestry practices that support long-term environmental balance
Water-Based Inks
Wherever possible, we use water-based inks, which are a safer and more sustainable alternative to solvent-based inks. Benefits of water-based inks include:
- Lower levels of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)
- Reduced impact on air and water quality
- Easier, safer disposal and cleanup
- Compatibility with a wide range of recyclable materials
This is part of our commitment to providing safer, cleaner print solutions for both people and the environment.

- Use energy-efficient machinery and technologies
- Source materials locally whenever possible to reduce transport emissions
- Continually assess and improve our logistics and delivery practices
- Invest in long-term strategies to lower our carbon footprint
Continuous Environmental Improvement

- Review our environmental performance and set clear goals
- Keep up to date with best practices and industry innovations
