Print That Email, Save a Tree? Print On Demand's Conscientious Green Practices Challenging Old Eco-Dogma
Even printing can be more green and eco-friendly. Print On Demand takes environmental matters into their own hands in Melbourne, which include an array of environmentally friendly printing practices.
Melbourne, Australia, March 01, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Print On Demand, an independent Melbourne in-store and online printing company, is challenging the idea that printing is an inherently environmentally destructive activity.
The Melbourne in-store printer adheres to a wide range of green practices in an industry that many people would consider destructive to the environment. Such initiatives include:
- Maximizing the use of recycled and environmentally raw materials, while minimizing virgin materials use
- Product take-back programs
- Energy efficient technology powered by renewable power
- The near-elimination of non-recyclable waste
- Active seeking of relationships with businesses that can use the Melbourne in-store printer's by-products in their own business
- Promoting the use and sale of environmentally friendly products
Eco-friendliness is becoming big business around the world, with environmental claims directing many consumer dollars towards one product over another. However, the true environmental value behind different claims is being called into question, with some products, services and businesses emerging as those clearly dedicated to environmental aims rather than just paying lip service to the idea. Print On Demand, an environmentally friendly Melbourne in-store and online printing service provider is filling the demand for conscientious printing practices that don’t cost the Earth.
"Environmental friendliness is somewhat of a buzzword in printing; you'll find that lip service to green ideals is common, but actual change is more often driven by dollar demands than environmental ideals. Print on Demand is different, we understand that a truly green service will eventually be recognised and rewarded," Mr Bhasin said.
"Besides, it makes us feel good about the work we do every day, even if nobody else ever recognises it!" Mr Bhasin continued.
Demand for green services and products has been driven by legislative, as well as market, forces in recent years, with legal changes such as South Australia's plastic bag ban[1], spotted bottled water bans appearing across the country[2], and several US cities banning distribution of Yellow Pages phone books[3].
