Eco-friendly printing at Wolf Printing House: safe and profitable

Printing is not traditionally considered a “green”  industry. It uses a lot of paper, paints and various chemicals, and consumes a lot of energy. At the same time, leading manufacturers are addressing common concerns, responding to market demands and developing increasingly sustainable and safer technologies. Let's talk about "green" printing and how to make your next print run more environmentally friendly.

Environmental problems in printing

One of the significant problems is paper production and associated deforestation. In addition, processing wood pulp into paper involves the use of chemicals, including chlorine compounds. Other challenges include:

• High energy consumption in the production and operation of printing equipment, and consequently increased greenhouse gas emissions.
• Printing processes require significant amounts of water for paper production and maintenance equipment.
• The chemicals used in the production of ink and toner can pollute waterways, further threatening aquatic ecosystems.
• Printing generates a significant amount of waste, including paper scraps, cartridges and packaging materials , which must be properly disposed of.
• The constant development of printing technologies leads to the rapid obsolescence of printing equipment and the formation of electronic waste, which contains hazardous substances that pollute soil and water.

Both printers and customers can minimize the environmental impact of printing. Going sustainable involves:

• using eco-friendly paper made from recycled or certified sustainable sources. Additionally, duplex printing and optimizing print settings can help save paper.
  
• Use vegetable-based inks instead of petroleum-based inks, certified inks and coatings.
• Recycle paper waste , proper disposal of ink and toner cartridges.
• Introduction of modern pre-press, press and post-press technology that uses less energy, saves resources and reduces waste through a high level of automation.
