looking for a green labelling solution?
insignia, in partnership with Avery Dennison have developed a wide variety of recycled and recyclable labelling solutions.
Australia is living in a moment of receptivity in regards to environmental issues. Much of our daily discussion and current news centres on environmental issues. Now more than ever before Australians are making changes and trying to find ways to minimise their impact on:
-
global warming - by looking at ways to reduce emissions such as carbon (CO2)
-
deforestation by - finding alternatives to cutting down trees
-
drought - by finding ways to use less water and is especially relevant to Australians
-
rising landfill - by finding ways to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill
Australians are making positive changes around the home to do their bit for the environment, including changing household light globes, reducing the amount of time spent in the shower or switching to green energy. Australians are seeking other opportunities to reduce their impact on the environment whether in the home, through business, their community or by their government’s policy changes.

insignia is proud to advise our Green Initiatives:
-
installed a (Ranpak) packaging system which utilises paper made from 50-60% (post consumer) recycled fibres replacing non-renewable plastic bubble wrap in the transportation of our products and provides a double benefit of cost effective cushioning and void-fill
-
mandated the use of 100% recycled carton board on all our shipping cartons, as cartons made from recycled fibres require less energy and resources then cartons made from virgin fibres as the recycled fibres have already been processed once
-
recycling of ink drums and toner cartridges as part of the Planet Ark cartridge rescue program thus diverting waste from ending up in landfill and reducing the amount of greenhouse gas caused by landfill sites
-
one of an elite few technically qualified Australian printers to use environmentally conscious water-based ink which eliminates using harmful effluents in our production processes
-
recycled label and ticket stocks – insignia is able to source recycled stock for tickets and some labels
