Prontaprint Lincoln print finisher Andy Alder said the scheme not only helps the environment, but it has also resulted in savings for the company.

"The system is saving Prontaprint over £1,000 per annum. Our only outlay has been the shared costs of the recycling bins."

Paper fibre can be used up to seven times, which reduces the need for making new pulp.
