After safe, fair working practices, East End Press’ second biggest responsibility is ensuring their products are sustainably made. It’s hard to truly preach about sustainability when you run a business creating more not essential ‘stuff’ with long air miles, but they try hard to lessen the impact of our products. This includes:
- Always using AZO free nontoxic water based inks.
- Always using 100% recycled content paper, including within our packaging and labelling.
- Never using plastic ever, products are all made from paper or FSC certified sustainably sourced wood.
- Half of the manufacturing unit in Jaipur is run entirely from solar energy.
- Electric van to move paper sheets, printed paper, paper shapes and sewn garlands between the various units in Jaipur.
- Water harvesting system installed in the printing studio. No ‘new’ water is ever used, and dirty water is never released. Water is collected, cleaned, and reused again and again within the printing process.
- Receiving all shipments in the UK via sea rather than aircraft.
- Using paper filled and paper made postage packaging when shipping orders out from the studio in Scotland.
