What we offer you
Recycled Paper Products
In the UK we dispose of around 20 million tones of refuse each year, 90% of this ends up in landfill sites. We use approximately 750,000 tones of office paper and only 10% of this is recycled. We can reduce land filling by using paper containing 100% recycled fibre, fibre from recovered waste reduces land fill considerably and we can help the environment by buying paper that uses pulp farmed from sustainable forests and bleached without the use of chlorine. Other environmental benefits are that recycled paper can use less fossil fuel energy and produce fewer emissions than new paper.
We know that you, the customer, demand the best so all our recycled papers are resilient and 100% compatible with printers, copiers and fax machines. So from professional colour presentations to Post-it notes, SET Office Supplies can provide the product to suit not only your business needs but the environmental need of your future generations.
Here at SET we also sell other 100% recycled paper products that maybe you hadn't thought of. Why not change to 100% recycled toilet tissue and hand towels, contact us today for more information.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
WEEE is the fastest growing waste stream in the UK, growing by at least 5% each year.
We dispose of over 1.2 million tonnes of electrical and electronic waste every year in the UK from the public alone. |

|

|
Electronic waste is increasing 3 times faster than average municipal waste and the EU estimates that WEEE currently accounts for 4% of total waste.
Much of the UK 's electronic waste ends up in landfill sites, where toxins put communities at risk. Failure to segregate any type of recyclable material in the home will usually result in items being disposed of in a landfill site (buried in the ground in the UK ) or being incinerated. It has been estimated that landfill space in the UK will run out within the next 10 years. Recycling WEEE will bring significant benefits to our environment.
Where WEEE is not recycled, this waste can have negative impacts on soil, air and water quality which can lead to environmental damage, and have negative impacts on human and animal heath.
Find out how to minimise your effect on the environment by visiting www.recycle-more.co.uk and locate your nearest recycling facilities for electronic waste with the recycle-more.co.uk bank locator, which includes an easy to use interactive mapping system.
