Print company with high ‘green credentials’ join us

In November 2008 Reading-based print company Lamport Gilbert Limited appointed The Waste Paper Company Limited to collect and recycle all its paper waste. The company also plans to introduce a new air-fed waste extraction system together with an external compactor skip and bin lift, which will make it much easier to take waste out of the factory. The compactor system reduces the volume of waste dramatically, resulting in far fewer trips to remove the waste paper from site, which in turns reduces transport costs and improves the company’s environmental footprint. read more >>

Only a handful of world-class paper mills still operate in the UK and we now export much of our recycled waste paper. read more >>
