the concept

The cleangreenprint.com^® concept has been designed to provide consumers and specifiers of print, information on the environmental impact of printing. By doing this, we aim to help them make environmentally sound choices in the way literature is printed.

In recent years, green print companies have begun choosing low-emission inks and solutions, improving the efficiency of operations to reduce waste and chemical use, minimising energy consumption and specifying environmentally friendly paper stocks to reduce the impact of printing on the environment. Further to this, a number of non-profit programs and government-approved initiatives have been set up to monitor environmental issues associated with printing.

By implementing a ‘clean green print’ process, printers can achieve better inventory and purchasing control to reduce waste, be more efficient in the use of energy and better segregation of recyclable and land fill wastes.
