Greenprint has won the Solutions for the Environment Award 2018! Thank you to all of our customers, suppliers and friends for voting for us.
The award was presented at the prestigious Solutions Awards ceremony at the Café de Paris in London's Leicester Square.

This is the fourth major industry award won by Greenprint since 2008 and reflects the company's commitment to sustainable printing, in addition to being a finalist in the Customer Service category of the Solutions Awards in 2016.

Congratulations to our wonderful client River of Flowers for winning Silver at their first Chelsea Flower Show. The picture shows an 8 panel concertina leaflet with a honeycomb die cut, part of a range of promo print supplied by Greenprint.
The leaflet was designed with the environment in mind, perfectly sized to maximise the print area whilst minimising paper waste. It was printed on a 170gsm FSC certified uncoated paper using vegetable based inks.

4 reasons why printed advertising outperforms digital/online marketing - conversion, targeting, ROI boost and purchase intent are all significantly better with print:

Greenprint's Steve & Jackie Wicks visited International Paper's mill in Saillat, France to see first-hand how this fully integrated mill is at the forefront of environmentally responsible papermaking. It was a fascinating insight into how well managed forestry coupled with leading-edge papermaking processes enables International Paper to reduce energy and chemical use. We saw how the chemical liquor used to break down the paper fibres is converted back from the black liquor... which is left after treating the pulp is converted to green liquor which is then used at the start of the treatment process, using energy derived from heat exchangers to re-use the energy used in the papermaking process. Only 3% of the chemicals used in the mill are new, with 97% being re-used or recycled. All water used is treated on site and discharged into their own reservoirs to be re-used. The mill holds FSC, PEFC and ISO14001 environmental certification.
Seeing the way the Saillat mill runs reinforces the fact that paper from well managed sources is environmentally responsible and completely negates the myth that paper 'kills trees' - in fact, more tress are planted and more oxygen is generated through the growth of saplings and young trees than if a forest was left untouched, so good forestry management to supply the papermaking industry actually INCREASES the number of trees and reduces global warming. Papers do not have to be recycled to be sustainable - a message which Greenprint has been promoting for the past 10 years - and choosing virgin papers with either FSC or PEFC chain of custody certification, which we always use for our clients' projects, is environmentally responsible and also provides the paper recycling industry with their raw materials. So next time you see an email footer asking you not to print it in order to save a tree, or a request from a service provider for you to go paperless for environmental reasons, bear in mind that well managed industrial printing using certified papers can actually have less environmental impact than the energy used by the servers which deliver the email or manage the website in the first place!

Very interesting article by Vince Collins for The Economist, brought to my attention by Two Sides. A vision of the future of papermaking, massively reducing energy and chemical use and the resulting emissions, with the potential to create useful bio-chemical by-products in the process:
