UK branding specialist Ast has secured carbon neutral status in accordance with PAS 2060.
For the last 14 years, Ast, which has bases in Cumbria and Warrington, has been working towards becoming carbon neutral by implementing a number of initiatives including the addition of solar panels, using electric cars, increasing recycling, and reducing travel and fuel consumption. The company also switched to HP Latex printers to support its long-term sustainability goals.
“We’re proud to be not just sustainable, but the only transport branding company in the UK to be carbon neutral, in accordance with PAS 2060. The last 14 years have been a great learning process – we’re now working hard to become net zero,” said Ast managing director Mark Aston.
“It’s good to know we’re doing everything we can to work sustainably. We know that our carbon neutral status will be of huge value to our clients who are also becoming increasingly conscious of their own carbon footprint.”
Ast operates almost exclusively with HP Latex printers – bought from Perfect Colours – and uses them to produce transport branding, signage and commercial interior print for clients in motorsport, logistics, healthcare and education.
