Sustainability

At Acorn Print, we believe that sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a responsibility. We are dedicated to making eco-friendly choices in everything we do, from the materials we use to the processes we employ.

We are excited to share how we’re reducing our environmental footprint and working toward a more sustainable future. Let’s dive into our green initiatives and how they make a difference!

One of the easiest and most effective ways to make a difference is by using sustainable materials. Here’s how we’re incorporating eco-friendly choices in our printing services:

• Biodegradable Paper: We’re proud to offer biodegradable paper options for projects that require an even greener choice. These papers break down naturally over time, making them an excellent choice for products like promotional materials and packaging.
• FSC Certified recyclable Paper: The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) ensures that paper is sourced from responsibly managed forests. By using FSC-certified paper, we support forest conservation and promote sustainable forestry practices worldwide.

Printing with eco-friendly inks/toners and processes is another crucial way we’re reducing our environmental impact:

• Eco-friendly Inks/Toners: We use eco-friendly dry toners in printing which are a sustainable alternative to traditional ink-based printing methods. Unlike conventional liquid inks, our dry toners are made from non-toxic materials and contain fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them a cleaner and safer option for both the environment and the people working with them. These toners require less energy to produce and don’t release harmful chemicals into the air, reducing the overall environmental impact. Additionally, our eco-friendly dry toners are produced from recycled materials and are fully recyclable, offering an efficient solution for reducing waste in the printing industry. By using eco-friendly dry toners, we maintain high-quality prints while promoting sustainability and minimising their carbon footprint.
• Energy-Efficient Printing: We’re continually updating our equipment to improve energy efficiency. Our modern printing presses use less power, helping to reduce energy consumption and lower our carbon footprint.

At Acorn Print, we work hard to minimise waste in several ways:

• Print on Demand: Instead of over-printing and risking excess inventory, we print-on-demand. This helps with reducing paper waste and saving on resources.
• Efficient Use of Paper: We carefully plan the layout of printed materials to maximise paper use and reduce waste. By optimising print runs, we minimise paper scraps and ensure that materials are being used responsibly.
• Recycling: We’ve set up a robust recycling system, which includes making sure ink/toner containers are properly recycled and reused wherever possible.

We’re proud of the strides we’ve made toward sustainability, but we know there’s always more to do. At Acorn Print, we are committed to continuously evaluating and improving our processes and exploring new ways to make our printing services even more eco-friendly.

The future of printing is green, and we’re excited to be a part of it. Together, we can create a more sustainable world—one print at a time!
