Sustainable by Choice, Eco-Friendly by Design
At Printing for Less, we are as passionate about the environment as we are about the quality of our products, services, and resources to drive our customers’ success. As a printing company, we choose to make responsible choices. We have built our business on sensible alternatives to help sustain our local and global environment. We are committed to preserving the clean environment and natural beauty in which we work and play every day.
Being a sustainable business was the obvious path for Printing for Less, and we have been using environmentally-sound printing from the beginning. We take our environmental actions seriously, ensuring they are designed to reduce, reuse, and recycle wherever and whenever possible. We believe it’s our duty to reduce our impact on the land with less energy consumption and less waste.
From our wind-powered print facility to our commitment to sourcing responsibly produced paper the goal is always maintaining our natural resources. There are several elements that contribute to green printing, and it goes far beyond just using recycled paper. At Printing for Less, sustainability is deeply rooted in the core of who we are as a business. To begin changing the way we print, we needed to first understand the importance of sustainability in our job and our lives.
Our Vision: The future is in our handsPaper is a canvas for the imagination of marketers. If businesses intend to change the way they market, then it is time to use print solutions with a much smaller carbon footprint. We have looked at things differently since our founding in 1996, and don’t plan to ever change that. |
Our Goal: Let’s change the way we printOur goal is to allow more people to print beautiful pieces at an economic threshold that is not prohibitive for small businesses. Since our founding in 1996, we have looked at things differently and chose to add eco-friendly solutions. |
Our Idea:
To produce something that is environmentally-friendly can be something as simple as the ink we use, or where the paper we used has been sourced. We’re creating a smarter, better world where everyone in marketing can succeed in the digital era and market your business in good conscience. |
Minimizing Our Environmental Impact
Printing for Less respects the planet we live on, and we are proud of our standards and practices that make us an environmentally-responsible company. To change the way we print, Printing for Less has designed a series of solutions that help promote the use of sustainable methods for businesses – both in print and as a business.
Our day-to-day operations ensure that future generations will be able to enjoy our natural resources just as we have. Our scrap paper is recycled. Our business policies and procedures protect our environment. Items such as metal plates which are used on the press, through the cardboard boxes that our production materials arrive in, are all completely recycled.
Our ethical approach means that we take the environment into account at every stage, as we make sure our business operations reduce their negative impact on the environment. This is ensured by the strict standards of our partners, the environmental and chain of custody programs, and of ourselves as a business.
