Pip Magazine

At Pip Magazine we make considered choices about all aspects of running our business from the paper we choose to print on to the power we run our office with down to the tea and coffee we drink. We know that producing a magazine and shipping them around the country has embodied energy but we do our best every step of the way to minimise these impacts. We print Pip with a 100% recycled paper cover and FSC paper pages. We print with an Australian company that uses 100% vegetable inks and are committed to environmental responsibility and are internationally accredited with ISO 14001 - Certified Environmental Management. Our office is run on grid connected solar power and uses rainwater collected from the roof. Because we run a home office we have minimal travel miles and we are able to eat from the garden and create our own homemade food. When our initial mail out goes out from the mail house, we use recycled paper hand packed envelopes instead of the usual 'biodegrabeable' plastic wrap. There is a significant extra cost involved in doing this but we insist on practicing what we preach. In our office we try to keep waste creation to a minimum. Any boxes that we can't reuse to resend things to customers we use for sheet mulching in the garden. We compost all food scraps and recycle paper, soft plastics and other recyclable waste, although we make every effort not to make it in the first place.
