♥ The papers predominantly used at Print House are sourced from legally certified tree farms and recycled sources. ♥ The paper mills from which we source these paper products conform to high-level environmental and ISO management systems. ♥ Print House is certified to use the relevant FSC or PEFC certification labels on a customer's print material. There is no extra cost for this service. ♥ Wood used for certified paper is sourced from tree farms where far more trees are planted than are cut down. ♥ In Europe alone, forests are increasing by an area equivalent to more than 1.5 million football pitches annually. ♥ The world's forest area is increasing by over 340,000ha a year. It is in the paper industry's interest to cultivate forests that will grow and thrive in the long term. ♥ Most paper and print products are bio-degradable, non-toxic and recyclable.

♥ The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) are both internationally recognised organisations that manage audit systems which verify the origins of wood and trace its progress from forest, to mill, to product. ♥ Chain of Custody (CoC) certifications are assurance that trees and wood based products are being harvested responsibly and that best practice methods in management and environmental stewardship are monitored. ♥ As young trees grow, they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere. Furthermore, as a wood product, paper also continues to store carbon throughout its lifetime. ♥ Forestry, paper and packaging are among the most sustainable industries in existence. ♥ One of the many unique things about paper is that its main raw material is renewable. This is why we love paper and print.
