Waste Management & Sustainable Printing
We believe producing high-quality signage shouldn’t mean ignoring what happens to the materials left behind.
From the way we manage signage waste to the technology and materials we use, we are continually looking for practical ways to reduce waste, recycle more and offer our customers more environmentally conscious choices.
Our approach covers the entire production process, including responsible waste disposal, recycling packaging materials, efficient printing technology and PVC-free alternatives.
Responsible Signage Waste Management
Signage production naturally creates offcuts, used materials and other waste. Rather than simply sending these materials to general waste, we work with Print Waste to responsibly manage and dispose of our signage waste.
Our aim is to support a zero-to-landfill approach, helping ensure materials are recovered, recycled or processed appropriately wherever possible.
We also manage common packaging waste generated within our operation. Cardboard and bubble wrap are baled on site before being sent for reuse in the production of new cardboard and polythene products.
It means materials that could otherwise become waste are given another useful purpose.
Severn Signs is also registered with the Environment Agency as an upper-tier waste carrier, broker and dealer,
Eco-Conscious Printing
We use HP Latex printing technology to produce high-quality signage while helping reduce our environmental impact. Its key benefits include:
- Recycled materials used within selected printer components
- Reduced plastic packaging
- Energy-efficient operation
- Water-based HP Latex inks
- Intelligent software to help minimise misprints, ink use and material waste
This allows us to maintain the quality, colour and durability our customers expect while making our production process more efficient.
PVC-Free Signage Options
For customers looking for a more environmentally conscious choice, we can also offer PVC-free vinyl for suitable signage and graphics.
These alternatives replace traditional PVC with other materials while still providing the professional appearance and performance required for many signage applications.
Making More Sustainable Choices
From responsibly managing production waste and recycling packaging to using efficient printing technology and offering PVC-free alternatives, we’re continually looking for ways to reduce waste and give our customers more sustainable choices.
