Welcome to PPE

This website has been created by David Shorto, print buyer for both Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace. It aims to help you to make informed choices to reduce the environmental impact of your printed materials.

Using this website as a guide will help you to wade through the myths, misinformation and commercial bias surrounding this subject area - something which can be difficult with so many uninformed people offering comments and advice on environmental issues.

PPE is in the process of a revamp to reflect the changing issues. The range of recycled, part-recycled and FSC materials is now diverse and material related myths have been dispelled. The main issue now is the poor environmental performance of many printing companies.
