Fespa UK Association is seeking a print company to take part in a trial to remove foamboard from landfill and be processed for granulation then delivered for re-manufacturing.
The participating printer must have a considerable amount of waste Foamboard to take part in the trial, which is intended to extend the association’s recycling programme it is running in partnership with Reconomy. The aim is to build a network of printers and suppliers that will enable more sustainable processing options for printed materials such as point of sale, advertising, signage, exhibition and display waste.Â
Solutions for several difficult to recycle waste streams have already been established and Fespa UK said the scheme is now starting to have a significant impact, with one UK supermarket chain being able to recycle an estimated 346 tonnes of used banner waste – equivalent to 2,175 1100 litre wheelie bins.
