Sustainable Printing With Uncompromising Quality

“As green as possible,” is a lifelong commitment made by BB Print as Central Queensland’s #1 Printing Service and North Queensland’s first Sustainable Green Print accredited company. Known for their quality printing, community connection and sustainable processes, BB Print has built a name locals can trust.

The printing industry has transformed in recent years when it comes to environmental responsibility, and BB Print has been at the forefront. In 2013, the business became North Queensland’s first company to achieve Level 2 accreditation for Sustainable Green Print (SGP) – the Australian Printing Industry’s recognised certification program for environmental standards.

Office Coordinator, Nicola Kaye, is very passionate about sustainability.

“We strive every day to better our procedures to reduce the impact on our surroundings,” Nicola said.

That commitment was tested in 2020, when China stopped accepting Australian recycling waste.

“This became particularly challenging… We had to come up with a solution to allow us to recycle our paper waste such as trimmings, and this is when we discovered beneficial recycling to compress the waste.”

“This has reduced our general waste from 600kg to 150kg per week.”

And the innovation didn’t go unnoticed.

BB Print was named a finalist in 2022’s Resource Industry Network Awards.

“It was a really proud moment to be recognised within the resources industry amongst the big mining companies,” Nicola added.
