Environmental Policy

CQ as a business has a real commitment to excellence in our processes and aim to be NZ’s Greenest Printer. We achieved gold standard with Toitu Envirocare in 2019, and we continue to work to maintain our environmental policies. 

CQ is proud to be Kiwi owned and operated. As New Zealanders, we feel there is a responsibility to protect the beautiful land we live in. Accordingly, we seek to actively manage our operations so that we have a positive effect on the environment.

We are committed to:

  • Keeping waste products to a minimum by recycling and reusing products and materials, where possible.
  • Conserving energy by managing our machines effectively and efficiently.
  • Regularly upgrading our machines so that we are investing in the most efficient technology available.
  • Using environmentally friendly and sustainable products, where possible.
  • Educating staff and customers on ways we can protect the environment with printing sustainably.
  • We source the majority of our paper from eco-friendly, sustainable sources, learn more
  • Offering customers a full range of recycled paper stocks as environmentally friendly alternatives. 
  • We use eco-friendly packaging, wherever possible. i.e. paper bags, cardboard boxes, eco bubble wrap.
  • Promoting ‘Print on Demand’ to reduce unnecessary paper / printing waste.
  • Promoting our REUSE initiative to encourage recycling and reusing products, such as roll up banners.

Look out for the Reuse logo on our products. These products are part of our Reuse initiative and promote sustainable living. Our roll up units are great.  Return them to CQ and we can reskin these for your next promotion.

Print on demand

Reduces the need for storage, saving space and resources as well as reducing the possibility of stock becoming out-dated and useless. Print what you want! When you want it! eg: no ordering 1500 and only using 900
