Today's world is brimming with opportunities to become green, reduce waste, and make a massive difference in our environmental footprint. Traditional Print is known to consume enormous amounts of critical resources, such as forests and water, therefore it's not uncommon for people to be concerned about the well-being of our world and whether or not Print is sustainable in today's economy.
Think About Paper.
Using recycled paper from environmentally sound sources such as post-consumer waste and FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) sources will help you be more sustainable. FSC paper is on the verge of becoming the industry standard. The FSC's criteria ensure that the paper originates from a reputable source, giving customers confidence in purchasing products.
What about ink?
Inks created with petroleum-based poisons are being phased out, favouring more environmentally friendly vegetable-based solvents, which emit far fewer greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Vegetable-based inks require less water, thanks to technical advancements. Paper and ink are important considerations for long-term sustainability in the Print business.
Every action we take has an impact on the environment. Printing today encourages environmental stewardship. Sustainability is a top focus in the forestry industry, and technology is constantly developing to remove waste and lower our carbon footprint at every stage of the process.
This is a responsibility that we at Minuteman Press Somerset West take very seriously.
