Recycling
At Go Stationery we recycle absolutely everything possible, that includes not only paper waste, but printing plates & chemicals as well as all office & kitchen waste. We try to minimise the amount of energy we use wherever possible.

Paper Miles
Food miles have been talked about for a while now, but we think it’s just as important to talk about PAPER miles. The trend over the years has been to order stationery items overseas particularly in the far east. Just imagine how many miles your diaries and notebooks travel from China to the UK! At GO Stationery all our materials are sourced in Europe, and more often than not in the UK. All our manufacturing takes place right here in Wembley. You can be sure that whatever you order from us will have travelled the shortest distance possible.

Carbon Targets

There is lots of news about the UK not achieving its carbon targets, and essentially exporting the problem to India or China where goods are made and then exported back to the UK - increasing rather than reducing the carbon footprint of imported printing.
