Recent environmental concerns and the dramatic impact on developing countries means that each individual and every company must take it's environmental responsibilities seriously.
As a company we believe in doing business the Green Way.
On 1st August 2008, following the acquisition by Edge Dream Media Ltd, EDGE Stickers went "Green".
As company policy we have made the following annual targets to reduce our waste and carbon footprint:
- We aim to recycle or reuse 95% of incoming packaging, boxes and envelopes. When you receive your sticker order it will most likely arrive in packaging that has been recycled or reused.
- We aim to recycle 60% of associated plastics and cartridges relating to thermal transfer printing
- We aim to recycle or reuse 99% of our paper.
We will continue to monitor our recycling rates and set new targets each year.
In addition, we have chosen to adopt environmentally friendly inks for our wide-format printers.
This contrasts with the wide range of aggressive solvent inks that many manufacturers use in the production of stickers. Full solvent inks are harmful both to employees and the environment. As such, the Edge Dream Media Group is opposed to these inks in commercial production.
In addition to our production techniques, we also have set the following targets for the administration side of our business:
- We aim to send 85% of invoices electronically to avoid carbon emissions from transportation.
We admit that our contribution and efforts are small, but taken together with those of other companies and individuals we believe we can halt the frightful consequences that global environmental damage may bring.
Edge Dream Media is leading the way in the sign, sticker and label industry, promoting environmentally friendly methods of production.
