PRINTING company Redwood Press has secured contracts with more than 20 schools after targeting the education sector with its ethically sourced paper and materials.
The Aintree firm is offering to supply schools and other education providers with green printing services at the same price as traditional printing services.
It dovetails with the Government’s Eco Schools Programme, which aims to ensure every school in the UK is sustainable by 2020.
Redwood Press director Claire Lewins said: “When we researched this initiative, we found that the sole reason schools were not using recycled paper for their stationery requirements was because of the additional expense.
“We struck a deal with our suppliers to enable us to offer education providers a green printing service at no extra cost, and we are delighted that so many schools have already signed up.”
Redwood was set up early last year and recently expanded following a £700,000 investment, which included cash from Alliance Fund Managers.
