Volatile Organic Compound Emissions

Estimated annual consumption of volatile organic compound emissions (VOCs) by the Group's printing sites during 2009

Over the past five years Trinity Mirror has worked hard to reduce emissions of VOCs from printing operations (mostly solvent vapours from inks, fountains and blanket washes). All our print sites continue to target this issue and our consumption of VOCs remains at a low level relative to our production. We believe that we are now approaching the minimum emissions that can be achieved using the latest equipment and water-based technology.
