Recycling and your print supplier

Being green takes effort. In some cases, not a lot, but it does take effort.

For example, recycling the waste paper in a print shop.

This extra effort of recycling paper, ink and plates results in some good things for all concerned:

• Less waste in the environment
• FSC certification for the printer
• A cleaner work space

Recycling paper is just one aspect of the paper part of this equation. Buying paper stock made from recycled and waste stock is also green.

FSC certification is recognition that a printer is really doing their part. Look for this designation when you choose your next print supplier. It means they use recycled paper and also practice recycling of used materials and supplies.

A cleaner work space means higher-quality work and a reflection of their attention to detail.

Another good thing to look for in your print supplier.
