Norwich-based print and point-of-sale firm BDH Tullford has announced plans to suggest sustainable material options as standard on all new quotations.
As a family-owned business, BDH Tullford is passionate about protecting the environment so it can be enjoyed by future generations. Its facilities on Europa Way in Norwich already hold ISO:14001 accreditation for its environmental credentials, while the team constantly searches the market for high-quality, sustainable alternatives to single-use plastics and harsh chemicals.
Plus, thanks to strong relationships with manufacturers and suppliers around the world, they’re always in the know about innovative new developments, which means they can offer these as soon as they become available.
As a result, from January 2022, they will give customers the option of a sustainable alternative when quoting for work. In doing so, the company hopes to help customers to understand the options available and the cost implications for their businesses.
BDH Tullford works with leading suppliers and can already provide alternatives to many single-use plastics. For instance, plastic foam boards (such as foam PVC) can be replaced by recycled or recyclable alternatives, while PVC banners can be replaced by recyclable polypropylene or polyester banners.
Plus, the company regularly invests in the latest technologies to ensure that it has a minimal impact on the environment. Its curing machines, for instance, now use low-energy LED lights, while lithographic processes have been water and chemical-free for more than a decade.
In order to offer a truly holistic service, the company can also provide advice on the disposal of products. If you’re unsure whether an item can be recycled, or what the different symbols mean, the team is on hand to answer your questions.
Director James Fox says: “Sustainability is more than a buzzword to us. We believe that everyone has a part to play in protecting the environment and by providing our clients with a range of alternatives, we can help them do just that.”
