Acorn Web Offset Join Two Sides To Promote Sustainable Print Magazines

Two Sides is excited to announce its newest member and supporter, Acorn Web Offset, the specialist A5 and A4 magazine printer.

Acorn Web is a specialist magazine printer of weekly, fortnightly, monthly, bi-monthly and quarterly periodicals. They produce high-quality, low cost magazines printed in A4 and A5 format, along with printed catalogues.

“We’re delighted Acorn is now a member of Two Sides. Sustainability is a highly important subject with our customers wanting more information in relation to their printing requirements. We are constantly looking at ways to reduce not just our waste paper but all waste that we produce both in the manufacturing plant and in the office, segregating and sending for recycling. We have both Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes (PEFC) Chain of custody certification for responsibly sourced paper. This ensures printed jobs can be tracked from the forest, through the pulp producer, paper mill, paper merchant, Acorn, and then to the customer.

By joining Two Sides we can communicate to our customers just how sustainable our industry and print really is.” says Mark Roberts, Managing Director for Acorn. “With Acorn Web, you can be assured that we are working towards a better environment.”

Practicing continuous improvement: The evolution of PEFC standards

PEFC International develops sustainability benchmarks that are applicable globally. Yet the real work is done by local stakeholders, who adapt them to local conditions and add their own requirements.
