Five Best Ways To Go Green on

According to Ben Grossman, Grossman Marketing Group, a Renewable Choice client, beyond buildings and employee travel, basic operations within the printing industry can contribute to a company's environmental impact. Grossman suggested some effective ways to green a project.

1. Use renewable energy, such as wind power, in the production process - manufacturing of all kinds, including the creation of collateral, requires large amounts of electricity, traditionally produced by fossil fuel-powered generators. The combustion of fossil fuels creates carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. Therefore, one of most Audemars Piguet Royal Oak effective ways to address the environment with your printed materials is to offset the electricity used in producing them with renewable energy, specifically wind power (this is done by purchasing renewable energy credits, or RECs).

2. Choose papers made with a high degree of post-consumer recycled content- This is probably the best way to make your print pieces green, as using post-consumer fiber is significantly less resource intensive than using virgin louis vuitton bag 2010 fibers. Once you make the commitment to use papers with post-consumer content, it is important to translate the environmental benefits to your constituents.

3. Choose papers with FSC-certified fiber to preserve forest lands Monogram vernis - the Forest Stewardship Council certifies that papers came from trees that were planted specifically for paper production.

4. Choose papers made with process chlorine free (PCF) or elemental chlorine free (ECF) pulps - when paper is bleached with elemental chlorine, there can be harmful by-products. Therefore, some paper manufacturers, notably Mohawk, have made great strides to reduce the amount of chlorine used in the bleaching process.

5. Use vegetable-based inks - Soy inks (or, most accurately "Soy-based inks") are made almost identically to regular printing inks, with the substitution of vegetable oil (predominately soybean oil) for traditional petroleum-based oil.
