What we do to support the environment Quantum Print and Packaging Ltd is dedicated to being an environmentally responsible manufacturer.To help achieve this we have been accredited with ISO14001.We also operate a strict environmental policy and have CSR certification (corporate social responsibility). The materials we use are FSC or PEFC certified and we have complete traceability through the supply chain from forest to finished product. We also use recycled materials where possible.Carton board and cartons are manufactured from a sustainable and renewable resource and as such are the most sustainable form of primary packaging available. Over 50% of cartons used in Europe are made of recovered fibre. This fibre is collected across Europe both from households and from commercial premises and is then used once again as a raw material for carton board. Over 90% of the wood needed by the European Paper and Board Industry comes from European forests. More trees are planted than felled which gives total sustainability unmatched by other types of packaging.
