Waste to Art Appeal celebrates environmentally sound partnership

Since the launch of the Appeal back in September 2006 we have received a great deal of interest from firms, however not all the waste offered has been suitable. But we are delighted to have found 4 new firms to donate their waste to Play Resource.

GPS Colour Graphics is one of them, Winner of the All Ireland Print Awards for ‘Environmental Printer of the Year’. Having examined their production streams to cut down on waste, they have pledged any remaining waste will be donated to Play Resource. “The partnership between GPS and Play Resource is a responsible way for GPS to ensure that waste materials, collected regularly, are reused in a way that benefits the local community and the environment. We hope that other firms will follow our example” says Helen Bell, GPS Business Development Director.

Derek Bell, Managing Director says "We are very proud to be the first CarbonNeutral® printing company in Ireland. It reflects our ongoing commitment to leading the way in environmentally responsible printing."
