As a certified Carbon Balanced Printer, we can exclusively offer Carbon Balanced Print & Carbon Balanced-based Packaging.

Carbon Balanced Print is the highest statement of integrity and credibility, that the carbon impacts of the entire printed piece have been measured and balanced (offset). At Fineprint Nottingham we have constantly been making changes to reduce our impact on natural resources and will continue to do so. We can also help our clients to do the same. Only a Carbon Balanced Printer can produce Carbon Balanced Print when printing on Carbon Balanced paper and include the unique Carbon Balanced Print Logo. As a Carbon Balanced Printer, Fineprint Nottingham is supporting the global conservation charity The World Land Trust in their crucial efforts to protect and preserve threatened, carbon-rich habitats around the World.

What is Carbon Balanced Print?

A print business becomes Certified carbon-balanced when it has measured its primary carbon emissions and balanced (offset) these impacts through World Land Trust’s global Carbon Balanced Projects. Certified Printers can exclusively offer their customers Carbon Balanced Print and Carbon Balanced Paper-based Packaging. Working with a Carbon Balanced Printer can help reduce your carbon impacts and provide you with the communications tools to build positive awareness amongst your own customer base. The World Land Trust Carbon Balanced logos can proudly be featured on your materials to communicate your commitment to reducing your carbon impact. World Land Trust Certificates can be issued for every job, or on a periodical basis - to demonstrate the amount of CO2 offset as a result of working with a Carbon Balanced Printer. These powerful acknowledgements of your positive action also highlight the equivalent area of carbon-rich habitat preserved.

The print trade and the environment, acres of positivity

The myth about paper being used in print is bad for the environment. This is far from the case, paper is highly recycled and naturally sustainable. Thanks to FSC and PEFC schemes forests are sustainably managed, this is evident in European forests as there were only minor fluctuations in the forest bird index showing a stable biodiversity. Paper is highly recycled and in Europe, it is used an average of 3.8 times and 56% of the fibrous raw material used comes from recycling. For paper packaging, the recycling rate is even higher, with 83% of paper and cardboard packaging being recycled in Europe. Paper is the most recycled packaging material, followed by metal (80%), glass (75%) and plastic (42%).* * Source two sides

What is the Carbon Capture Scheme?

Fineprint has signed up for the Carbon Capture Scheme and as such are offering customers and their clients the opportunity to capture the CO2 emissions from their paper purchases by planting native woodland, right here in the UK, through the Woodland Trust and the Woodland Carbon scheme.

When you place your print order you may elect to capture the carbon from the manufacture and distribution of the paper

The amount of CO2 generated in the production and delivery of your print is calculated

The Woodland Carbon logo may be used in conjunction with the print job to demonstrate your commitment to using reduced CO2 paper

All Carbon Capture charges will be paid to the Woodland Trust who will plant woodland at one of their accredited woodland creation sites in the UK

If you would like to know more about the Carbon Capture scheme - please get in touch with us.
