Climate neutral printing with SAXOPRINT

The objective of climate protection is to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases such as CO₂ and thus limit the anthropogenic greenhouse effect. The first step in all climate protection activities is an inventory of the amount of carbon emissions released by a company, a product, or a service. These so-called carbon footprints allow you to identify potentials for the avoidance and reduction of carbon emissions. For example, this can take place through efficiency measures and the use of renewable energy sources. By supporting carbon offset projects, you can also offset the carbon emissions that cannot be avoided in the short term.

In climate neutral printing, the amount of greenhouse gas emissions caused by the production of the print product is calculated and subsequently offset using emission reduction certificates from internationally recognized carbon offset projects. The emissions caused by the substrate, the printing materials, printing, processing and transportation are taken into account.

Carbon offset projects avoid carbon emissions. For instance, a wind farm in Turkey improves the energy supply in the region without using fossil fuels – such as coal and diesel – and releasing carbon emissions. These are tradable CO₂ savings in the form of emission reduction certificates. The mechanism of emissions trading globally enables the promotion of sustainable development and the avoidance of CO₂ at the lowest possible cost. To this end, different types of carbon offset projects are used – such as hydropower plants, biomass plants, wind farms, reforestation projects and forest protection projects.

  With climate-neutral annual reports, brochures, business cards and other printed materials, you can emphasise your sustainability and climate protection strategy.

• You are an important partner in climate protection

  For your customers, who are making more and more of an effort to buy from eco-friendly companies. And for your business partners, who increasingly select their partners based on climate protection criteria.

• Lower costs

  On average, it’s possible to compensate for CO₂emissions with an increase of just 1 to 2% in the original cost of the contract.

• Full transparency

  You and your customers can clarify and communicate the greenhouse gas emissions and any compensation measures associated with the printed product after entering the individual ID number at www.climatepartner.com.

• Make a contribution to climate protection

  You support internationally recognised climate protection projects. In black and white with the identification label on your printed materials and individual certificates.

• Reducing your carbon footprint

  With climate-neutral printed materials, you can reduce your company’s carbon footprint.
