subject: I'm concerned about the planet so I use green printing services [print this page] In a world with limited resources, every little bit counts in conservation. When I need to print brochures or other marketing materials for my company, I look for printers that have processes that help our fragile earth. Not all business printing services use those processes. Some have not kept up with the newest technology and don't use recycled papers, biodegradable packages or environmentally friendly inks.
While most printers offer brochures, labels, posters and annual reviews, only a few offer flexible packages and shrink sleeves that are used on plastic bottles. Those that print these shrink sleeves for bottles have new films and plastics that actually deteriorate when exposed to weather and heat like in a landfill.
Most business printing in the past was produced on paper that had a low content of recycled fibers. But today, most major paper suppliers offer many kinds of paper with higher recycled content, as well as some papers that are made completely from recycled materials. So when printing for my company, I can feel good about the fact that I am helping conserve our precious natural resources.
Most printers are happy to show you and tell you about these new papers that are used in green printing services. Simply ask your printing sales person to tell you about the different materials they have for use. In addition, you may ask what kind of recycling process they have for waste and unused materials.
With a bit of investigation, it is easy to find companies that help the environment. I am doing my part by using green printing services!
