The world is becoming increasingly environment conscious and like all other industrial sectors, the printing industry can also do a lot by adopting newer methods of green printing. . For those who are not aware, the printing industry ranks fourth in consuming energy and poses as a formidable threat for environmental preservation. The principal advantage that green printing is it uses recycled material and thus the adverse effect of the process on the environment is minimal.

One of the first things for green printing is to orient your design in a way that avoids excess bleeding and large ink areas. As a matter of fact, this will help you to print faster and at reduced cost.

It is common knowledge that paper production depletes forests, water, and energy supplies. In fact, research studies reveal that producing one ton of virgin uncoated paper requires three tons of wood, 19,075 gallons of water, and generates 2,278 pounds of solid waste. Moreover, many white papers are bleached via a chlorination process that releases dangerous chemicals and pollutants into the water and air.

Printing companies are responsible for the harmful volatile organic compounds known to be VOCs as they use a lot of petrol based inks. Use vegetable-based inks or soy inks instead of the conventional petroleum-based inks. These alternatives are both low in VOCs and competitively priced. Soy and vegetable-based inks are derived from a renewable resource, unlike petroleum based inks. Again, unlike petroleum inks, they do not contain undesirable toxins and carcinogens. Besides, soy and vegetable based inks break down faster and are easier to get rid of during the recycling process.
