ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

GICLÉE FINE ART PRINTING & PAPER

Using sustainable materials and respecting our natural environment is incredibly important to me. The paper my prints are printed is Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta. Hahnemuhüle paper manufactures only use resources from sustainable forest management areas. This programme ensures the preservation and protection of biodiversity, the renewal of the forests habitats and decreasing of the impacts of exploitation of forest areas for future generations. The paper made at their mills is certified for the traceability of the wood fibres from an origin of non-threatened forests.

FRAMES

The wooden mouldings used for our framing are from sustainable sources that are managed to meet environmental, social and economic needs for both the present and future, as certified by the FSC scheme. As part of our commitment to producing work which stands the test of time, we use the finest 8-ply acid-free and neutral PH museum conservation-quality board, which is certified by The Fine Art Trade Guild and offers exceptional preservation qualities that conform to the highest conservation standards.

PACKAGING

The packaging which we use is recycled where possible and we encourage clients to reuse or return packaging materials to us to re-use to reduce the impact on the environment.
