Step 6 - Be Keen to Going Green

Green has gone mainstream. Give careful thought to how you can make sustainability a priority, and encourage your clients and colleagues to do the same. When our environment is healthier, we can all breathe easier.

By following cleaner practices in your shop, you can influence the decisions designers and their clients make about what gets printed.

“My clients are much more environmentally aware than ever before. I feel good about the quality and look of recycled papers, and I make it a priority to specify and quote on them.”

Tip: Be knowledgeable about recycled papers, establish a solvent recycling program, use alcohol-free printing, and establish inventory control. Share the environmentally sound practices your company has adopted.
