Green Printing: Limit waste and petroleum
By Nick October 31, 2008
Printing is thought of as inherently evil in this age of information featuring paperless technology for almost everything. Whether PowerPoints, PDFs, or e-mails, paper waste is easy to avoid. At the same time though, paper is necessary in life and business.
So when giving in to paper (only because it’s totally necessary of course), choose the lesser of two evils by choosing and supporting green printing. PS Print is one such green printing company that is committed to minimizing the waste and environmental problems associated with the industry.
First, the environmental problems with printing:
- Paper waste
- Petroleum based inks
- Volatile organic compounds
In response to these problems, PS Print does a variety of simple yet effective things: To rid of paper waste, they recycle all of their excess paper, while offering 100% recycled paper printing stocks for all of their products. PS Print then rids of their dependency on petroleum by using [renewable] soy based inks which rid of the volatile organic compounds that are derived from petroleum inks. Also, they company reduced energy waste during shipping by having printing locations on both US coasts.
PS Print, along with some other printing companies out there, is a great example of how an environmentally unfriendly practice can have it’s drawbacks minimized through a little effort and commitment, while still offering great, competitive products. This printing company offers everything under the sun, including business cards, custom stickers, postcards, greeting cards, and posters.
So if you do happen to need some brochure printing, do it as green as possible with an environmentally friendly printing company that reduced environmental impacts like PsPrint.
