Carbon Balanced Paper
A simple way to balance the carbon emissions of your office paper and printed marketing communications
As part of KPW’s commitment to ensure environmentally sustainable business, all paper used on commercial printing is Carbon Balanced.
What is Carbon Balanced Paper?
- Carbon balanced paper is achieved through our partnership with the World Land Trust who manage the preservation of important standing forests which are under threat of clearance, this helps to Lock In Carbon that would otherwise be released and continued the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
How does using Carbon Balanced paper help my company and the environment?
- The average carbon impact of the paper you use in your business can now be measured, and in turn OFFSET through your printing partnership with KPW and in turn KPW’s partnership with the World Land Trust. Through this initiative your company is taking greater steps towards a carbon neutral world. So positive is the reaction that we are receiving that many of our customers are now including this in their own environmental policies and statements while engaging with us on other ways they can reduce their carbon footprint.
Why is it important?
- The time for discussion and debate is over, the time for meaningful action is now, and It is through important sustainability focused initiatives such as this that we can all do our part to help combat global warming and deliver against corporate and social responsibility commitments. We are not going to solve every problem overnight, but together and one step at a time we can make a difference.
The trading situation is difficult particularly now, we can’t afford to increase our prices, how much extra will this cost on a typical print job?
- We are proud to say that there will be no additional costs to our customers for the use of Carbon Balanced paper, KPW is making the contribution to this scheme on your behalf.
The world is a big place, there are a lot of environmental issues, what kind of difference will this make, really?
- Thanks to you and our other customers who do business with us on a daily basis we all share in the results and the positive impact that carbon balanced paper is having. In short the answer is its making a bit difference, just look at some of the figures below.
