Europoint has a passion for service, a passion for meeting our customers’ needs, and a passion for doing what’s right. Our customers are increasingly asking us for sustainable products to fulfil their Environmental responsibilities; so we did our research and have designed a range that is truly sustainable from the source right through to waste disposal and recycling.
Europoint is a major supplier of materials to the UK Point of Sale, Sign and Digital Print sectors.
We set out strict criteria on the percentage of sustainable content in the manufacturing process, the percentage of materials that are actually recycled - not just recyclable - the manufacturer’s commitment to CO 2 reduction, and finally to be an affordable alternative to traditional materials. So now you can choose to be sustainable - SUSTAINABLE by choice .
