VIC printer recognised for its green effort

Fishprint, which was nominated in the small
business category at the awards in April produces print on a five-colour
printing press, using the waterless printing technology which completely
eliminates the use of water by 100 per cent.

The business has also eliminated the use of
toxics in its printing process, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 99 per
cent and increased recycling of plastic packaging and ink containers by 100 per
cent.

Peter Booth, Fishprint director says, "Our
aim is to be at the forefront of greener printing processes within the
industry. The nomination for this prestigious award is a welcome recognition
for all our work towards becoming a sustainable business."

Booth says, "Our biggest environmental
achievements include saving 129 tonnes of greenhouse gases through our
renewable energy source, and saving more than 10 tonnes of paper per annum, the
equivalent of 225 trees, from our 20 per cent reduction in paper consumption on
printing processes."

The Premier's Sustainability Awards
recognise Victorian businesses, community groups, individuals and public bodies
that are reducing their environmental footprint and using resources in
innovative ways.

Gavin Jennings, Environment and Climate
Change Minister says, "The Premier's Sustainability Awards aim to encourage and
reward excellence and innovation in reducing our environmental footprint while
creating economic and social benefits."
