How big is your footprint?
Clover Road has spent the last two years evaluating eco-friendly design practices which not only helps us, but allow our clients to have a marketing campaign, business collateral, and branded materials with little impact on the environment. Many businesses think only of using recycled paper, but there are many other options to reduce your environmental footprint.
Here are some practices that Clover Road always uses:
The most eco-friendly papers possible:
There are many environmentally friendly paper options. Recycled content is a start, but the options don’t end there. For example, there are papers made from non-tree sources, FSC certified papers and so on. When choosing a paper for your project, Clover Road takes its environmental impact very seriously.
Smallest quantity of printing required:
This is a no-brainier that can save you money. Clover Road will help you evaluate the quantity of printed material needed. By eliminating waste, we can reduce your impact on the environment and save you money in process.
Avoiding hazardous inks and colours:
Many chemicals are used in the production of ink colours. Some of them contribute to polluted environments and workspaces. You can be assured that Clover Road will avoid these colours and provide alternates when possible,
We also choose printers with environmentally friendly practices. Clover Road has done significant research into printing providers that have your interests in mind. Some printers have taken extra steps to provide you with a healthier product while keeping the work environments healthy.
Reducing the amount of paper stock required:
Making slight variations to the size and shape of printed matter can have dramatic effects on the amount of paper stock required to print a job. Clover Road is committed to using every square centimeter of your print job. This reduces paper, lowers cost and sometimes offers creative solutions that are more attractive to your customers.
Avoiding print altogether:
We will always examine the feasibility of using digital technologies to provide the design solutions you require. Clover Road always provides PDF proofs to eliminate costs and print waste.
