Start 2026 with a Commitment to the Environment

Today, both businesses and individuals are more conscious of their environmental footprint. Printing is frequently viewed as a resource-intensive activity, but with proper strategies, it can help address environmental issues instead of worsening them. Adopting eco-friendly printing methods allows you to not only minimise damage but also support a climate-positive future.

What Does Climate Positive Mean?

Being climate positive involves actions that go beyond just offsetting your carbon footprint to actively benefit the environment. For printing, this includes lowering emissions, choosing eco-friendly materials, and backing projects that restore ecosystems and combat climate change.

Choose Eco-Friendly Materials

Begin with the fundamental materials - paper and ink. Choose FSC-certified or recycled paper and vegetable-based inks or eco-freindly toners. These options help reduce deforestation and eliminate harmful chemicals, making your printing projects more eco-friendly without compromising quality.

* At A Local Printer all of our papers are either recycled or from sustainable sources. Our inks are soy based and our toners are certified food safe and environmentally friendly.

Print Smarter, Not More

Avoid unnecessary printing by planning carefully and using print-on-demand services. This reduces waste and energy consumption while ensuring your materials stay relevant and up-to-date.

* Using our multi-sorts offers and digital printing enables you to print different versions of your marketing collateral within one order, saving cost and resources.

Offset Your Carbon Footprint

Partner with printing companies that invest in carbon offset programs or donate to environmental charities. These initiatives fund reforestation, renewable energy projects, and conservation efforts.

* At A Local Printer, we offset carbon through a monthly subscription to Ecologi and by offsetting our key papers via Carbon Footprint and the Woodland Trust. 

Support Climate-Positive Initiatives

Use printers that go beyond neutrality and actively contribute to climate-positive projects, such as using renewable energy or supporting biodiversity programs.

* All of the energy we use is from renewables. We also donate 10% of our monthly sticker printing to various eco-friendly charities through Work For Good, focused on marine conservation projects and habitat restoration.

Why It Matters

Every printing choice you make has consequences. Opting for sustainable solutions and supporting climate-positive efforts contributes to a future where businesses succeed without damaging the environment. Printing doesn’t have to be detrimental—it can contribute to positive change.
