What Are We Doing To Achieve This?
Our day-to-day business activities, decision-making, innovation and planning are guided by a formal strategy that puts ESG at the core of Metamark’s business. We make our products using sustainable raw materials wherever possible. Our product design minimises raw material usage. We operate an energy-efficient plant and maximise the yield from every resource we consume and we are recovering the heat used in our processes. We cultivate a culture that prioritises our responsibility toward the environment, through training and continual review. We innovate to keep valuable resources in the economy, helping our customers meet their environmental goals. Metamark has been awarded with an EcoVadis sustainability rating, and we are ISO Accredited to ISO 14001, 9001, 45001 & 50001.

Sustainable Raw Materials
Metamark’s supply chain works with industry bodies committed to delivering raw materials on a sustainable basis avoiding hazardous materials and operating in full compliance with REACH and RoHS legislation. In addition to delivering recyclable products to the end user, we are progressing toward making Metamark carbon-neutral.
Best In Class Efficiencies
Metamark is a manufacturer and its production facility is making progress toward Zero-To-Landfill operation. We are managing single-use plastics out of our business. Our production processes today produce little waste that can’t be recycled into useful articles that can themselves be recycled time and time again.
VOCs removed
Our manufacturing process operates under strict environmental governance. It is registered with the UK Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR), an environmental database of potentially hazardous chemical substances and/or pollutants released to air, water and soil, and transferred off-site for treatment or disposal. All VOCs produced during the manufacturing process are removed using Regenerative Thermal Oxidisers (RTO).

Recycling for Vinyl Liveries and Graphics
MetaStream® is an independently audited recycling1 initiative that allows recovery of production waste and end-user products produced using qualified Metamark products, turning them into useful articles that can themselves be recycled multiple times2. This recycling initiative has far-reaching scope for application keeping valuable resources out of landfill and incineration streams and helping work towards more environmentally responsible operation and growth of the signage, graphics and allied industries.
MetaStream® is currently only available in the UK.
