Environment Isues

Never really goes away the issue of print's impact on the environment and really we just have to accept that there is one and something that we aren't necessarily proud of; over the years various policies and procedures have been put into the national output with varying success. The majority of these iniatives are designed to be driven by the outputter ie, printing companies owners. This is where you as an owner apply for an accreditation, hand over a fee and invest a shed load of time and resources to gain the certificate. What I would like to see is the government turn up and grade the manufacturer between say 1 and 10. This ranking would then be published and reviewed annually. Simple!!!
