Service Graphics produces biodegradable graphics for EDF Energy
Service Graphics (the large-format division of St Ives) has created a biodegradable graphic display for EDF Energy’s customer contact centre. The company was chosen to produce and install a permanent interactive sustainability room at EDF Energy’s Doxford Park site. The room is designed to generate awareness and debate on sustainability and carbon reduction amongst employees and visitors.
The room display was constructed using environmentally friendly materials sourced by Service Graphics, including biodegradable BioMedia and Biolam film laminates to create biodegradable wallpaper graphics, FSC certified MDF for the panelling and shelving, and BioRigid material for the biodegradable detailing. Service Graphics used eco-label Nordic Swan accredited UV-curable inks in its Durst Rho 500 flatbed printer for print production.
The sustainability room features two walls on which people can write their comments and thoughts on sustainable issues and one wall with a magnetic section displaying giant thought-provoking ‘post-it’ notes highlighting the targets that form part of EDF Energy’s Sustainability Commitments.
Kevin Gatens, EDF Energy’s director of customer account management at the Doxford centre, said: “The new sustainability room is really eye-catching and invites our staff and visitors to have their say. Service Graphics was able to help us make sure that everything used in the display is borrowed, reused or sustainably sourced, right down to the wallpaper paste. This was vital to the core concept of the room and their knowledge and expertise were crucial in helping us realise this aim. We’ve had great feedback already and plan to create a number of other rooms throughout the UK.”
