Southernprint and Garnett Dickinson have also signed up for the scheme. The BPIFs national health, safety and environmental adviser Dale Wallis said that the BPIF had received enquiries from 50 firms including ones in the DM and packaging sectors.
Its been a long process to get where we are, but worthwhile, said Wallis.
The Environmental Assessment Scheme, which was designed by Sustainable Office Forum vice chairwoman Clare Taylor, was first unveiled at the PPA Magazines 2002 conference in May last year.
The two bodies joined forces to enable magazine publishers to assess the environmental performance of their printers.
The basis of the assessment is an eight-level questionnaire, to allow publishers to select suppliers on the basis of environmental performance.
