OUR IMPACT
Advance is recognised as one of the 52 leading
environmentally-friendly printers in the world.
Advance, leading the way
in sustainable print.
Advance strives to make a tangible difference to the environment and community around us. By harnessing advancements in print manufacturing and investing in new technologies, we are forerunners in environmental printing practices and processes in Perth.
Consideration of our impact locally, and in turn globally, is at the core of our approach to future planning, decision-making and purchasing.
Everything we do is geared to reducing our waste and recycling as much as possible, as part of our stringent ISO 9001:2015 Quality Assurance and ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Assurance accreditations and to limit our impact on the environment. We were the first WA print company to attain both of these certifications.
We were the first print company in Perth to attain FSC® certification too, offering us a way to consolidate our commitment to reducing our global environmental impact because it is based on the principle of providing stock chain-of-custody from plantation to final delivery of printed products.
Our goal is to continually improve our impact on our environment by employing new technologies, identifying opportunities to reduce consumption of resources, reducing waste and developing an internal staff culture of environmental consciousness and responsibility.
Our aim is to:
Reduce our environmental footprint through policies, practices, procedures and initiatives which minimise our impact on the planet
Provide our clients with environmentally friendly options and choices which offer ecological benefits while maintaining the high quality of work expected from one of the region’s largest print and communications providers
Internally we have a culture of ‘Reduce, Rethink, Reuse, and Recycle’ and we regularly monitor and evaluate the environmental competence of all our suppliers.
Our approach is:
Demonstrated by our achievement of ISO14001:2015 Environment al Management accreditation
Supported by Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) accreditation
Demonstrated by our achievement in becoming finalists in the Infinity Awards 2018, and again with a Kodak Sonora Green Leaf Award in 2020 with Advance recognised as one of the 52 leading environmentally friendly printers in the world
Measured and monitored through management processes, policies and practices, and the implementation of carbon calculation
Validated by the environmental options and choices we offer our clients.
Our strategies have resulted in reducing
our impact on the environment equivalent to:
ELECTRICITY
Saving 305 tons of carbon emissions per year (equivalent to planting 1,131 trees per year!).
WATER
Saving 31,000 litres per year
LANDFILL
More than 90% of our hard waste is recycled, saving 1037 cubic metres per year.
LIQUID WASTE
Saving 8,000 litres per year
