There are a number of systems that can be put into effect to reduce build-up of waste on the factory floor:

• disposal of hazardous waste chemicals through chemical treatment, stabilisation, controlled incineration chambers and recycling services
• segregating and recycling all plastic, tin, cardboard/paper, glass products and fluorescent tubes
• anodised aluminium printing plates recycled as new products
• financial return from consumables bought for recycling
• appointing an accredited waste management company
• replace ink tins with recyclable ink cartons
• organic compost bins for food scraps
