The trends
In today’s business landscape, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a necessity. With eco-conscious consumers expecting brands to take responsibility for their environmental impact, adopting sustainable practices in your print projects isn’t just good for the planet; it’s good for business. Total Print Solutions (TPS) leads the charge in delivering high-quality, ethical, and innovative printing solutions. Here are 10 actionable ways to make your next print project more sustainable.
1. Choose Recyclable and Compostable Materials
Switch to materials like FSC-certified paper, recyclable plastics, or even compostable alternatives for your packaging and print materials. Total Print Solutions offers a wide range of eco-friendly substrates that help reduce waste.
2. Use Low-Impact Inks
Traditional inks can contain harmful chemicals. Opt for soy-based or water-based inks that are less toxic and biodegradable. At Total Print Solutions, our suppliers print with technology that supports vibrant, sustainable colour options.
3. Optimise Print Quantities
Overprinting leads to unnecessary waste. Accurately estimate your required print quantities and use digital proofs to minimize trial runs.
4. Leverage Sustainable Design
Design plays a significant role in sustainability. Use minimalist designs that consume less ink and avoid unnecessary embellishments like UV coatings unless they are environmentally friendly.
5. Consolidate Shipping
Shipping multiple small batches of printed materials increases your carbon footprint. Consolidate orders to reduce transportation emissions.
6. Promote Reuse and Recycling
Include clear recycling instructions on your printed materials. Encourage end-users to recycle or reuse wherever possible.
7. Educate Your Team and Stakeholders
Promote sustainable practices within your team and educate clients about their options for eco-friendly printing. Total Print Solutions provides consultation to help businesses make informed choices.
