Mercian Zero is our commitment as a business to focus on our environmental impact and Corporate Social Responsibility.

The concept of sustainability is of growing importance to consumers, and there is a pressing need to create environmentally friendly products. How is Mercian Zero different and able to adopt a sustainable approach, that positively impacts on the environment?

> Zero to Landfill – all of our waste is converted to energy

> De-inking – our digitally printed labels are fully de-inkable during recycling, unlike suppliers using liquid toner
