Unfold the Future: Your Sustainable Paper Source
In today’s world, sustainability is gaining increasing importance. Consumers are becoming more conscious of how their choices impact the environment, leading businesses to opt for more sustainable products and services. The printing industry has made significant progress in this area, with Snap at the forefront of sustainable printing options, offering high-quality paper choices that stand out in terms of sustainability and quality.
But what exactly is sustainable paper?
It’s paper that is produced using sustainable practices, such as utilising recycled materials, managing forests responsibly, and reducing water and energy usage.
Making sustainable choices is crucial for a better future for several reasons. Firstly, eco-friendly paper is produced using environmentally-friendly practices that minimize the negative impact on the environment. By using recycled materials, the demand for new trees to be cut down is reduced, while responsible forestry management helps preserve forests for future generations.
Another reason to choose eco-friendly paper is to align with conscious branding. As consumers become more environmentally conscious, they seek businesses that share their values. Using sustainable paper can express your commitment to a sustainable future, making your business more attractive to end-users who are looking for eco-friendly options.
Furthermore, the use of sustainable paper has driven innovation in the printing industry, leading to the development of new technologies and processes that further reduce the environmental impact of printing.
So what are some of the best sustainable paper choices available?
Snap has a few favorites that are sure to impress.
Shiro Echo, made from 100% post-consumer recycled waste, is considered the top choice for businesses with a strong corporate environmental policy. It’s ideal for sustainable printing and environmentally-friendly packaging, making it an excellent choice for various uses, from book printing to invitations and swing tags.
Tree Free has been a pioneer in papermaking with zero impact on forestry for over 20 years. With an improved recipe and a refreshed range, including a new 380 gsm weight suitable for tags, cards, and packaging, Tree Free uses 25% cotton linters and 75% bamboo.
