Print Responsibly with Replica Print’s Green Solutions
At Replica Print Southport, we believe great printing doesn’t have to come at the planet’s expense. That’s why we offer a range of environmentally friendly printing options designed to reduce waste, minimise emissions, and support sustainable business practices—all without compromising on quality or service.
Whether you’re a business committed to green policies, a community group promoting eco-awareness, or simply want to reduce your environmental footprint, we make it easy to print responsibly.
Our Commitment to Sustainability and Certified Production Partners
At Replica Print, approximately 80% of our external print operations—accounting for around 50% of our total production—are managed by carefully selected external partners who share our dedication to sustainability. These partners hold several important international certifications, including:
- ISO 9001:2015 – Quality Management
- ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Management
- ISO 14065 – Greenhouse Gas Verification and Carbon Reporting
These accreditations guarantee that their manufacturing processes meet rigorous standards for environmental responsibility, quality assurance, and carbon footprint transparency.

Responsible Material Sourcing with FSC-Certified Papers
Both Replica Print and our production partners prioritise responsible sourcing of materials. The majority of the paper we use, along with what our partners source, is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This ensures that paper and cardboard come from sustainably managed forests, recycled sources, or controlled wood verified for traceability and ethical management.
FSC certification supports conservation efforts, respects the rights of workers and indigenous communities, and promotes sustainable forest management.
Waste Reduction and Recycling Programs
Our production partners utilize advanced waste management systems that capture and recycle the majority of paper and cardboard waste generated during printing. Over 95% of material waste and more than 80% of chemical waste are recycled or responsibly disposed of.
Additional recycled materials include litho printing plates, plastic packaging, and electronic waste handled via certified waste disposal programs.
Minimising Overproduction Through Flexible Print Quantities
To avoid unnecessary waste, our partners offer flexible quantity options across many product ranges. This means you can order precisely the number of prints you need, reducing excess inventory, cutting costs, and minimising environmental impact.
Sustainable Practices in Our Offices and Facilities
Sustainability is not limited to production. Replica Print’s offices run on 100% renewable electricity, with energy-saving measures such as LED lighting, climate control systems programmed for efficiency, and automated shutdowns of equipment when not in use.
Similarly, our main production partner’s facilities are powered entirely by renewable energy sources. Their solar panels generate approximately 6,000 kWh per week, resulting in an annual reduction of nearly 73,000 kilograms of CO2 equivalent emissions.
Ongoing ‘War on Waste’ Initiatives and Energy Efficiency
Our production partners are continuously implementing a ‘War on Waste’ campaign, which has achieved:
- A 33% overall reduction in waste
- A 20% reduction in power use for UV drying processes
- Virtualisation of server infrastructure to lower energy consumption
- Installation of timers and automated systems to power down equipment when not in use
These initiatives contribute significantly to lowering the environmental footprint of print production.
Carbon Neutral Certification and Our Road to Net Zero by 2030
Thanks to accredited greenhouse gas accounting and verified carbon credits, our main production partner has achieved carbon-neutral certification under ISO 14065. This means that Replica Print can confidently offer print products sourced from a carbon-neutral supply chain.
Together, we are committed to continuous improvements and reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2030.
