Soyang Europe announced as FESPA Waste Accreditation Champion
Waste Accreditation was established in 2022, and is a voluntary scheme designed to promote responsible waste management and recycling across print, signage, and graphics in the UK market. Companies that sign up and meet strict criteria across waste-generation, waste outputs and disposal practices are declared a ‘champion’ by FESPA UK. Suzi Ward, managing director of FESPA UK, said: “Mark Mashiter and his team worked closely with Jon Hutton to understand what would genuinely work for their clients.
“This included how materials could be brought back, how it would function as a viable part of their business, and how materials could be stored correctly and collected directly from their yard.” Mark Mashiter, Soyang Europe’s CEO, said: “We’ve been huge supporters of the Waste Accreditation scheme since FESPA UK first launched the initiative almost four years ago.
“We are honoured to have been recognised for our own efforts in this area and will strive to continue to improve the environmentally friendly products we offer to customers.”
