2nd South Australian printer reaches SGP3

Promoting continued improvement in environmental sustainability, Digi we doo is now the state’s second printer to achieve Level 3 standard in PIAA’s Sustainable Green Print.

According to technical Manager, Mark Minahan, working towards and achieving a national SGP certification has helped the company implement the highest operational environmental practices available.

“Accreditation of both AS/NZS ISO 14001:2004 and Sustainable Green Print level 3 is proof of Digi.we.doo's commitment to the prevention of pollution and waste as well as our determination to continually improve on environmental performance.

“This will give our customers confidence in knowing that our printing is produced through sustainable procedures, and hopefully it will lead to more business,” says Minahan.

Since the SA-based printer already achieved ISO 14001 certification around two years ago, it was able to skip the first two levels to the more closely aligned SGP3. Developed by the PIAA, the green print standard is designed to help printing company’s meet environmental responsibilities.

Peter Mansfield, general manager for Printing Industries SA/NT, says the associations SGP has become recognised within the industry as a valuable certification in its own right.

“In the case of Cadillac Printing and Digi we doo in South Australia, they see the value of having both level 3 accreditation and ISO 14001. As a standalone certification, SGP demonstrates the environmental performance of a printing company and provides a path towards ISO” he says.
