Quay bridgeHere at Wotton Printers we are extremely proud of our environmental policy.

We champion and promote the widest possible use of sustainable resources in our work, as well as striving to fulfil the ever increasing demands made by consumers to offer a wide choice of environmentally friendly products.

‘Two Sides’ are an organisation who promote the sustainability of the Graphics Communication Supply chain and dispel common environmental misconceptions by providing users with information on why print and paper is an attractive, practical and sustainable communications medium.

  • MYTH – Making paper always destroys forests.

    FACT – Well managed planted forests support sustainable development.
  • MYTH – Paper is bad for the environment.
    FACT – Paper is one of the few truly sustainable products.
  • MYTH – Print and paper is a wasteful product.
    FACT – Paper is one of the most recycled products in the world.
  • MYTH – Electronic communication is more environmentally friendly than print and paper.
