Eucalyptus minus the side effects

An ill-informed stigma still remains over the quality of recycled paper, which is stifling the adoption of eco-friendly printing. The Idea Works has taken steps to identify specialist printers in this field, to ensure that clients can see the wood from the trees.

Eco-friendly printing saves trees, energy and water, produces less pollution, uses more benign chemicals, and requires less bleaching than virgin paper production. A request for more information from any agency or printer could lead to a world of difference.

For those companies that organise their print in-house, The Idea Works would recommend Printspeed, a fantastic printing paper which is made from sustainable eucalyptus tree forests. Eucalyptus trees are fast growing and require substantially less chemicals to create paper pulp.

Eco-friendly printing was just the start for The Idea Works. We have helped raise the profile of the States of Jersey recycling department and encouraged many departments to use recycled paper for their printed collateral. We have also invested in low-energy equipment, including flat panel monitors and hybrid administration machinery.
