Printing.com has been awarded ISO 14001 accreditation and doubled the target of its Trees for Schools campaign to 100,000 trees.

The hub-and-spoke print franchise picked up its ISO 14001 certificate following a recent assessment by BSI Management Systems.

Printing.com highlighted its recycling and waste reduction initiatives, including its use of vegetable-based inks, which are pumped straight from large drums, rather than small cartridges, in order to reduce packaging.

In addition, the Manchester-based company has increased the target of its Trees for Schools campaign to 100,000 trees after passing its self-imposed 50,000 mark.

The campaign, which is conducted with the help of Tree Appeal and David Bellamy, centres around Printing.com's pledge to plant a tree for every 20 orders it receives.
