Limetree gains ISO and FSC certification

Family firm Limetree Offset has notched up three accreditations in three months including Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

The firm rounded off its ISO 9001:2000 quality management and ISO 14001:2004 environmental management with the FSC certificate last month.

"Quite a few printers have the ISO awards but not so many the FSC," said managing director Vic Milton who runs the firm with wife and finance director Carole.

The company in Wickford, Essex, uses recycled paper and board and vegetable inks. It recycles waste heat from chillers to warm the factory, is 100% alcohol free and recycles water.

Milton said his firm was the biggest supplier out of 350 to the DTI.
