Environmental commitment

Big impact.
Considered choices.

Great signage should last, work hard and waste less. Here is how we approach our environmental policy, recycling and greener material choices for every project.

01 · Environmental policy

A policy that shapes how we work.

We have an environmental policy that sets out our commitment to reducing waste, using resources responsibly and helping clients make informed material choices. Procurement teams and project managers can request a copy for tenders and supplier onboarding.

1

Measure before we make

Accurate surveys and digital proofs reduce reprints, wasted material and repeat site visits.

2

Nest and optimise

Artwork is nested on sheets and rolls to use more of every board and reduce offcuts.

3

Plan the journey

Deliveries and installations are grouped where possible to reduce unnecessary journeys.

4

Design for longevity

We recommend materials and fixings suited to the lifespan of your sign, not just the lowest price.

Workshop offcuts separated into recycling bins

02 · Recycling

Less to landfill, more back into use.

Production creates offcuts. We separate material streams in the workshop and design reusable systems so graphics can be replaced without throwing away the structure.

Aluminium & ACM offcuts

Metal and composite offcuts are separated from general waste for appropriate recycling routes.

Card & packaging

Cardboard, protective packaging and paper are collected and reused or recycled where practical.

Reusable hardware

Frames, roll-up bases, SEG systems and stand hardware are built to be re-skinned for the next show.

Old sign removal

Ask us to remove old signage during installation and we will discuss suitable disposal or recycling options.

03 · Recycled & greener materials

Choose the right material for the job.

Ask for greener options in your brief. We will compare durability, appearance, budget and lead time so you can make a balanced choice. Availability and suitability are confirmed for each project.
