At CarbonQuota, we’re proud to be at the forefront of sustainability in the Print industry, supporting the PrintGreen initiative an ambitious UK wide movement redefining how the print sector approaches environmental responsibility.
Launched through a collaboration between leading industry organisations – including The Strategic Mailing Partnership, MarketReach, Two Sides, BPIF, DMA, IPIA, Nutshell Creative, Webmart, Paragon and Tradeprint – PrintGreen sets out to empower brands, agencies, and media professionals with greater transparency, education and actionable data around the carbon impact of their print campaigns.
At the core of PrintGreen is a free to use carbon calculator developed by CarbonQuota, enabling users to calculate a basic carbon footprint of their print projects by entering a few key specifications such as paper type, weight, pagination, print volume, and mailing options. In return, they receive an instant, science-based carbon footprint that can help guide more sustainable choices and reduce environmental impact.
For CarbonQuota, this project is about more than just measurement – it’s about educating and providing insight to drive behaviour change. PrintGreen represents a collective effort to shift perceptions and practices, making sustainability not just accessible, but standard across the print ecosystem. The initiative fosters transparency and encourages businesses of all sizes to integrate environmental considerations into every stage of the print production process.
Nathan Tiller, Co-founder of CarbonQuota comments,
”As sustainability leaders in print and packaging, CarbonQuota is delighted to support the PrintGreen initiative. By providing a high level product carbon calculator, we want to educate the industry and enable more informed and sustainable decisions.”
Importantly, PrintGreen also presents a commercial opportunity for print suppliers. By adopting the principles and tools of the initiative, suppliers can demonstrate their environmental credentials, differentiate themselves in a competitive market and align more closely with the growing sustainability goals of clients and consumers alike.
PrintGreen gives the industry a much-needed framework to act decisively, collaboratively, and with measurable results. CarbonQuota is proud to contribute our expertise to this movement and excited to see the ripple effect this initiative will have across the UK and beyond.
