Why choose carbon balanced print?

Carbon balanced print and packaging is the simple choice that will help meet the growing demand for sustainability. With wide-ranging environmental benefits, businesses choosing Carbon Balanced can meet the needs of their customers as well as their own environmental, social and corporate governance commitments, and the planet.

Choosing to carbon balance your print is a positive environmental action that can have a lasting, positive effect on our planet. As Sir David Attenborough, WLT Patron said,  “The money that is given to the World Land Trust, in my estimation has more effect on the wild world than almost anything I can think of.”

And, according to Neilson, 66% of global consumers say they’re willing to pay more for sustainable brands. So, why not choose carbon balanced print today?

What makes us a carbon balanced printer?

At our printing business, we believe in taking responsibility for the environment. That’s why we are proud to be a Certified Carbon Balanced printer. We measure our primary emissions and balance this out by investing in projects run by the World Land Trust that capture carbon and protect already stored carbon.

In this way, we are able to make sure that any carbon used by our business is balanced out with projects that benefit the environment and the planet. We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint, and this is one of the steps we have taken to do our part.

How can you get involved?

Do you want to reduce your carbon footprint and drive a positive awareness amongst your customer base? Working with us can help you do just that! We are a carbon balanced business, and can help you carbon balance the paper or board used for your print. It's easy, and the calculations have been done to track the material from source.
