At TMB Printing, we are committed to delivering high-quality offset and digital printing services to our clients, while also doing our part to reduce our environmental footprint. As a business that uses a variety of card and paper stocks, including recyclable materials, sustainable inks, and eco-friendly finishing products, we understand the importance of making conscious choices for the planet.


Sustainably Sourced Paper and Card Stocks

One of the key elements of our eco-conscious approach is the use of sustainably sourced materials. We prioritise paper and card stocks that come from certified sustainable sources. This means the materials we use are responsibly harvested and managed to reduce deforestation, protect wildlife habitats, and support the global effort to combat climate change.

Additionally, we offer a wide range of recyclable paper stocks, allowing businesses to print their marketing materials and documents with confidence, knowing that they can be recycled after use, helping to reduce waste.

Reducing Waste with Recycling Initiatives

We recognise that the printing process can generate waste, but we take active steps to minimise it. At TMB Printing, we’ve implemented a variety of waste-reduction and recycling practices throughout our operations. Our paper waste is carefully segregated and recycled, keeping it out of landfills and ensuring that it can be repurposed into new paper products. Additionally, we recycle offcuts, trimmings, and any other byproducts that result from the printing process.

We also work closely with suppliers and partners to ensure that any non-paper waste, including inks, solvents, and finishing products, are disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. This careful approach allows us to divert a significant portion of our waste from landfills and contribute to the circular economy.


Environmentally Friendly Finishing Products

The finishing touches on your print projects—such as coatings, foils, and laminations—can often be a source of environmental concern. At TMB Printing, we prioritise the use of finishing products that have minimal environmental impact. We offer a range of eco-friendly coatings that provide the same high-quality finish while using fewer harmful chemicals. For example, we use water-based coatings that are safer for both the environment and our employees.

When it comes to laminates and other protective coatings, we focus on options that are recyclable or biodegradable, ensuring that our finishing processes align with our overall sustainability goals.


Energy Efficiency and Carbon Footprint Reduction

Aside from material choices, we also aim to reduce our environmental impact through energy-efficient practices. Our equipment is regularly maintained to ensure maximum efficiency, and we invest in energy-saving technologies wherever possible. In addition, we are actively working to reduce our overall carbon footprint by incorporating renewable energy sources into our operations and offsetting emissions where necessary.


Supporting Our Clients' Sustainable Goals

We understand that many of our business customers also have sustainability goals, and we are here to support them in their efforts. By choosing TMB Printing for your offset and digital printing needs, you can be confident that your printed materials align with your company's own sustainability objectives. Whether you’re printing brochures, business cards, packaging, or promotional materials, we provide options that help you meet your environmental targets without sacrificing quality or performance.
