GSM Graphic Arts Commitment to Sustainability
At GSM Graphic Arts, we are dedicated to continuously reducing our impact on the environment while providing exceptional labelling solutions to our clients globally.
Our Successful Environmental Action Initiatives
When we committed our business to the goal of increased sustainability, we had to develop a comprehensive strategy involving many different approaches to creating a green business. The following is a selection of successful initiatives that have turned GSM Graphic Arts into the sustainable company it is today.
Zero Landfill Since 2011
We are proud to have achieved and maintained a zero landfill status with our sustainable label manufacturing processes since 2011. We believe reducing waste across our entire supply chain is the most beneficial approach to environmental sustainability. As a result, we invest in responsible waste disposal and recycling methods that are the most effective across the waste hierarchy.
Recycling of All Raw Material and Chemical Waste
Eliminating our landfill contributions means finding reliable ways to dispose of our raw materials and chemical waste. This required us to find ecologically safe methods that prevent environmental contamination without sacrificing the high quality of our manufacturing processes. For example, all raw material from our nameplate manufacturing and chemical waste from silkscreen printing in our production processes is efficiently recycled thanks to the specialist disposal companies we partner with.
On-Site Solar Generation
Renewable energy generation is another area we have explored to reduce carbon emissions. We initially invested 52kWh (kilowatt an hour) of on-site solar generation at our facility, but we extended this by a further 37kWh (totalling 89 kWh) in August 2023. Additionally, since 2013, all electricity purchased or acquired has been sourced from green or renewable energy sources.
