It really does seems that the world is going mad. Sustainability is a serious concern we actively approach as printers. We are well aware of the resources we use to produce our clients&#8217; work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greenwashing as it is effectively known as, is the myths created to disprove creditable sources. Or if you want \u201dFake News\u201d, Paper is a sustainable product, it is a harvested product. For every tree used in paper manufacture, of which paper is made up of virgin and recycled pulp, more trees are planted than harvested. The paper industry goes a long way to prove this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paper is a product, which can be composted, returning the matter back to a carbon-rich source, which is locked in the ground. Paper can be recycled as mentioned back into itself. Our paper recycling heads, less than 10 miles to be turned into cardboard tubes. If that sort of low mileage and low carbon footprint makes it even more credible. Paper always has been the biologically friendly form of communication and has been recycled. I can remember a Scout Group back in Coventry which had a big success with this organised activity back in the 1970s\/80s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So where\u2019s the evidence, The print and paper industries have always been very prominent about being truthful about the credibility and accountability of what we do. It\u2019s worth taking a look at https:\/\/www.twosides.info where the global paper and print industries demonstrate the facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So here\u2019s what we do to prevent the nasties of plastic\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Only specify laminates where a product is a long term product, so not disposable<\/li><li>Use recycled plastic biro\u2019s in our studios and offices<\/li><li>Have compostable cups at our water dispenser<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The ink we use in our digital presses is 94% compostable, we have solutions which offer a soy-based ink as well. Our large format machines use a latex ink, which is a water-based ink, with the pigment carried in a latex, which is sub-form of rubber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, it is a case of it\u2019s easy to throw stones, however, the responsibility to be ecologically aware and responsible citizens rests with everyone. The advent of digital communications, with e-mail, social media and online, whilst might seem responsible not for using physical resources at the point of consumption, digital uses significant power, to create, to upload, store and then re-use and redistribute.
