Green Initiative
The Arthur Press has always been a company that is responsible for the environment. All our waste has been recycled whether it being paper, plastic, printing plates, chemicals. The printing ink and chemicals that we are using are environment friendly products.
In 2009, The Arthur Press decided to go one step further by sourcing our paper from well managed forest that is responsible and follow a sustainable forest initiative. The three major governing bodies that monitor and police these initiatives are FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification).
We are certified for FSC, SFI and PEFC. These certifications provide our customers with the right options for the drive towards a more environmentally responsible initiative.
About FSC
The FSC label provides a credible link between responsible production and consumption of forest products, enabling consumers and businesses to make purchasing decisions that benefit people and the environment as well as providing ongoing business value.
Here are some highlights:
• More than 100 million forests worldwide are certified to FSC standards and distributed to over 82 countries (July 2009)
• FSC certified forests represent the equivalent of 5% of the world’s productive forests (July 2009)
• FSC is the fastest growing forest certification system in the world (UN FAO, 2007)
• With over 13,500 certificates (July 2009), the number of companies along the forest product supply chain committing to FSC certification peaked at 50% in 2008
• The value of FSC labeled sales is estimated at over 20 billion USD (2008)
