Sustainability is important to us in Printropolis and although our city doesn’t exist in a traditional sense, our real world facility does. We are constantly reviewing our processes and looking at new ways to provide an exceptional service, all with our impact on the environment at the forefront of our minds.

 Look out for Signman's Green Glove of Approval.

To help you recognise which of our products are  sustainable, eco-friendly choices quickly and easily we've created a universal symbol for your reference. This may mean the product is recyclable, made from recycled materials, biodegradable, or free of nasty chemicals. You can find the specifics in the product description.

Changes we’ve made already include…

	We’ve switched independent review providers from Trustpilot to Feefo, whereby we make a contribution to plant a tree for every review we’re given.
	We use delivery partners who are taking steps towards net zero carbon emissions.
	Our buildings have had upgrades to energy efficient lighting and heating systems.
	Using paper void fill packaging and paper tapes to reduce single use plastics and allow you to re-use or recycle packaging. Our mail lite envelopes are made from at least 50% recycled material and are recyclable by simply separating the bubble liner from the paper pouch.
	Introducing more PVC free product options, including squeegees, tapes, corner protectors and more. Supplying plastic products that have a minimum of 30% recycled content, and providing more information to buyers on how to recycle them.
	Reducing the volume of general waste we produce. Reducing and re-using where possible.

We are committed to sustainable practices and partnerships.
