Sustainable
Printing
At Purely Digital we're conscious of the impact that our production processes and methods of operation can have on the environment. We're determined to reduce this and our environmental policy is an integral part of our business. By demonstrating our commitment to combat climate change through a wide variety of measures, you can be confident that you're dealing with a supplier that genuinely respects the planet whilst offering an outstanding, highly competitive service.
Our Environmental Commitment
Every print job we produce follows rigorous environmental standards. Here's how we're making a measurable difference.
Carbon Capture
We capture our carbon emissions through verified woodland creation projects with the Woodland Trust, helping create new native woodland across the UK.
Responsibly Sourced Materials
Over 90% of our paper stocks are sourced from FSC-approved suppliers, meaning they come from responsibly managed forests that protect wildlife, watercourses, and workers' rights.
Supporting Local Business
By working with local businesses where possible, we reduce unnecessary transport pollution and support the local economy.
Renewable Energy
Since 2008, our facility has run on 100% renewable energy from wind, solar, and hydro power, helping reduce our carbon footprint and support the shift to cleaner energy.
Waste Reduction Programme
Our waste reduction programme sees over 80% of production waste recycled, with paper offcuts and used cartridges responsibly returned for recycling.
REACH Compliant
Our consumables are REACH compliant, helping ensure the materials used in our printing processes meet recognised standards for chemical safety and environmental responsibility.
Print Deserves Its Place
There's a common assumption that digital is always the greener option. We don't think that's the full picture. Print, when done responsibly, is a powerful, tangible medium that connects with people in ways screens can't. And with the right approach, it doesn't have to cost the earth.
We're not claiming to be perfect. What we are is a team that genuinely cares about doing better — investing in renewable energy, working with local suppliers, choosing certified materials, and continuously looking for ways to reduce our footprint. We believe print and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand, and we're committed to proving it with every job we produce.
Honest About Our Impact
We track our emissions and work to offset them through verified woodland creation. We're transparent about where we are and where we're heading.
Championing Responsible Print
Print doesn't have to be the villain. With responsibly sourced paper, renewable energy, and responsible waste management, we're showing that high-quality print can be a genuinely responsible choice.
Always Improving
We don't stand still. From upgrading equipment to reviewing our supply chain, we're always looking for the next step we can take to reduce our environmental impact.
Putting Down Roots
Through our partnership with the Woodland Trust, we're actively involved in planting native woodland across the UK. It's one of the most tangible ways we give back — and the team genuinely loves getting stuck in.

Every print job contributes to new woodland. It's not about being perfect — it's about taking real, measurable steps to offset our impact and leave things a little better than we found them.
