Junction 32 owners Landsec forge new partnership to accelerate green ambitions

Supporting West Yorkshire’s net-zero carbon economy by 2038 plan, the company will provide vinyl for Landsec’s properties in West Yorkshire, which includes the Junction 32 shopping outlet.

Darren Moorhouse, head of sales UK & Europe for ARC UK-Technologies, said: “It is our aim to ensure that reducing carbon footprints and cutting emissions in line with local communities’ targets is a cornerstone of our business.

"We believe strongly in helping our environment and our carbon neutral production sets a precedent for the industry as we become one of the first printing companies to offer this.

"Our partnership with Landsec further supports these plans and we look forward to working together to help tackle the UK’s carbon footprint.”

ARC-UK Technologies, the British arm of global print giant ARC Document Solutions, last year became one of the first print businesses in the Kent area to work towards having a carbon-neutral headquarters with a newly built 30,000 sq ft facility.

The firm is now working towards their next milestone of switching to 100 per cent renewable energy to power their headquarters in Dartford by June 24 , helping to reduce carbon emissions.

Pablo Sueiras, head of retail asset management at Landsec said: "We’re looking at how we can make every element of our business more sustainable and working with ARC-UK Technologies has allowed us to make a tangible step in reducing our environmental impact across our retail destinations.”

ARC-UK Technologies plans to support local communities’ net carbon zero ambitions by offering neutral print production at Landsec’s retail destinations across Leeds, Dartford, London, Somerset, Hertfordshire, Portsmouth, Oxford, Cardiff, Essex and West Yorkshire.

Landsec is the largest commercial property development and investment company in the UK.

Jenny May from Carbon Quota, said: “Demand is increasing rapidly for carbon measurements across the print sector, it’s therefore vital for manufacturers to take control of their emissions.

"ARC-UK Technologies are ahead of the competition and clearly see the benefits of managing their carbon impact effectively.”
