Sustainability

We are proud to announce that Alexander Boyd Displays is now fully powered by 100% green energy. All of our electricity is sourced from local renewable suppliers, ensuring that we operate with zero carbon emissions from our energy consumption. By harnessing renewable sources such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power, we’ve taken a significant step forward in reducing our carbon footprint and contributing to a more sustainable future.

This transition means that every product we print, every light we turn on, and every machine we run is powered by clean, sustainable energy—helping us to reduce our environmental impact even further. It’s our way of ensuring that the work we do for you, and for brands around the world, is as environmentally responsible as possible.

We continuously invest in the latest technology to offer more sustainable printing solutions. Our current focus is on water-based printing technology. We recently invested in new water-based printers (see here for the announcement). These sustainable printing methods allow for easier disposal and a reduced environmental impact, giving our clients the ability to choose eco-friendly printing solutions without compromising on quality or performance.

By adopting these new technologies, we’re reducing the use of harmful chemicals and materials while delivering the same exceptional results our clients expect. This commitment to innovation ensures that sustainable print options are available for businesses and individuals alike, helping to create impactful brand displays that are also environmentally conscious.

As part of our ongoing efforts to reduce waste and embrace green printing, we are actively trialling new materials. These include non-PVC materials and fully recyclable boards and papers suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Our trials also extend to innovative coatings for external signage that can actively reduce NOX (nitrogen oxides) from the atmosphere, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier environment.

Our sustainability efforts don’t stop at printing materials. We are also exploring creative ways to repurpose and extend the life of existing materials. For example, instead of replacing older furniture, we are refurbishing them by covering them with various vinyl finishes. This not only reduces waste but also supports eco-friendly design solutions that give materials a new lease on life.

We are proud to announce that we have been shortlisted for the Sustainability in Signage award at the 2025 Sign & Wrap Awards. This recognition highlights our dedication to innovation in sustainable printing. The winners will be announced on March 25th 2025 – and whether we win or not, we’re proud to be driving positive change in the industry.
