What are the success stories in eco-friendly printing?
- Soy-based inks: These inks are made from renewable soy oil, which is a more sustainable alternative to petroleum-based inks. They reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and they do not contain harmful chemicals that can leach into the environment.
- Recycled paper: Recycled paper is made from post-consumer waste, such as old newspapers and magazines. Using recycled paper reduces the demand for virgin paper, which helps to conserve forests and reduce water pollution.
- Digital printing: Digital printing uses less energy and resources than traditional printing methods, such as offset printing. Digital printers do not require plates or chemicals, and they can print on demand, which reduces waste.
- Green certification: There are a number of green certifications available for printers that meet certain environmental standards. These certifications help consumers to identify eco-friendly printing companies.
