A great example of our sustainability journey is our work with Co-op, supporting them with their new ‘eco-store’ format, which involved developing friendly alternatives for store branding. Key substrates included Ultra Board and digitally printed non-PVC vinyl solutions.
Astley has also worked with Sainsbury’s to incorporate sustainable substrates into their signage, having introduced Green Cast – a 100% recycled and 100% recyclable coloured acrylic. Despite being recyclable and PVC free, this acrylic does not lose its striking qualities, as it still provides the same high-quality, colour-intense characteristics as found in raw materials.

This is a rapidly developing market with new media and methodologies being introduced daily. As part of our partnership with our clients, we promise to continue to innovate and embrace new and more sustainable ways of working.
At our Kettering site, we have introduced a creative meeting room, formed from a variety of recycled offcuts and in-house surplus materials. From a contemporary, customisable peg board to a custom table made from in-house recycled wood and metals, this eco-space is a testament to not only our in-house craftsmanship, but also our commitment to sustainability.
We are also passionate about organising sustainable workshops for our workforce, so they are all equipped with the latest knowledge of eco-friendly substrates and new market trends. Our most recent workshop focused on Sustainability within the Viscom Market, looking at various sustainable materials, waste management, and sustainability trends.
