PRINTING AND THE ENVIRONMENT: HOW YOUR BUSINESS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Throughout our journey in print, we are always trying to find ways to ensure the impact of ourselves and our clients on the environment is as minimal as possible. Whilst considering printing and the environment, we have worked hard to ensure we understand the crucial balance between high-quality print materials and environmental responsibility.

We work closely with our clients to understand their printing requirements and optimise them in a way to reduce the impact. If you would like more information or would like us to conduct a print audit for your business, please contact us today.

In this insight, we are exploring how organisations can make a positive impact – without compromising on results.

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER PRINTING AND THE ENVIRONMENT

There is a growing responsibility for businesses to ensure they are working with the environment to reduce their impact and lower their carbon footprint. Every printed page consumes natural resources, from paper and ink to electricity and water. When not managed properly, print operations can contribute significantly to deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and landfill waste.

When your organisation starts making conscious choices around printing, you can align with global sustainability goals and often reduce costs. Consumers and clients are increasingly favouring companies that take their environmental responsibilities seriously, so you’ll also be improving your brand reputation.

As part of our goals and environmental support movement, we have partnered with Treeapp to ensure that trees are constantly being planted all over the world. With every order that we receive, we plant 25 trees with Treeapp – so when you work with iNREACH, you’re making a difference to sustainability for your own organisation.

Read our latest Treeapp progress update. This is just one of the ways we are reducing our environmental impact – if you’re looking for a print partner who takes environmental responsibility seriously then iNREACH could be a match for you. Contact us to book in your initial discussion today.

WAYS YOUR ORGANISATION CAN ALTER PRINT BEHAVIOUR TO REDUCE YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

While printing remains a vital part of daily operations, there are effective and realistic ways to reduce its environmental footprint. When you work with iNREACH we can help you with guidance on how to reduce your environmental impact. Small changes to print habits can lead to meaningful environmental benefits. Here are a few strategies your business can implement today:

Even incremental changes can lead to significant resource savings across departments.

When you work with iNREACH, you will have access to our team of experts who can help you implement higher level environmental practices such as;

Choosing eco-friendly inks and toners: Vegetable-based or soy inks are less harmful than traditional petroleum-based options. If you invest in our managed print services we can manage all your toner and ink for you, let us know your preference and you wont even have to source it yourself.

Monitor and manage print volumes: After we provide a print audit, we help you to implement software to track print usage and identify wasteful patterns. This ensures you are constantly monitoring your print behaviour and can alter it with the environment in mind.

Encourage a ‘think before you print’ culture: to reduce printing volumes, everyone has to be involved. We can help in raising awareness among employees to reduce unnecessary prints.

Recycling Devices and Ink Cartridges – the more we recycle, the less gets put into land fills. We can organise recycling your older printer devices when you upgrade and also take away all your used ink and toner cartridges and recycle those too.

Printer Leasing – have you considered printer leasing? By leasing a printer rather than buying one, it not only saves you money but also reduces overall waste from your organisation as it will often be leased by someone else after you
