Print, Design & Websites
We all have a responsibility to reduce our impact on the planet, and at Kall Kwik Bury St Edmunds we can help provide sustainable print options that can do just that. Print has the power to make a difference contact our team on 01284 752266 or email [email protected].
We use carbon balanced paper & board to help for the protection and restoration of carbon-rich wildlife habitats. Since 01.01.2020 we have offset the equivalent of 13,671kg of CO2 – that’s more than 7 and a half flights from London to Sydney! This will enable World Land Trust to protect and restore 2,611sq m of threatened tropical habitat.
As a print business we use a lot of paper every day. Paper is one of the most recycled products in the world (in Europe 74% of paper is recycled*) and its use epitomises the circular economy. (*Cepi, Key Statistics, 2021)
Over the years the choice and quality of recycled papers has increased significantly, offering improved whiteness and comparable print performance as non-recycled paper.
Typically banners are used for short term use, often to promote an event, or to attract passing traffic. Once the event is over they tend to be simply thrown away as there isn’t an easy or economic way to recycle this material. Historically banners are made from PVC and yet environmentally PVC is falling out of favour as businesses try to find more sustainable products to use.
In recent years significant progress has been made to develop PVC-free options and we can offer both PVC-free banners and mesh banners, as well as PVC-free roller banners.
The use of Kraft paper and board has increased over recent years as the trend towards more natural looking materials continues. Perfect for stylish wedding invitations and creative print projects, the production of Kraft paper doesn’t involve the use of bleach to whiten the sheet which is a big environmental benefit. Kraft paper provides a natural looking aesthetic which can compliment the message you are trying to portray.
Small changes can eventually make a big difference.
To offset the unavoidable emissions from the production and distribution of paper and board we are signed up to carbon balancing and carbon capture schemes with our main paper suppliers. The World Land Trust (Member No. CBP002365) is an international conservation charity helps the preservation of high conservation forests, saving threatening habitats and their biodiversity. The Woodland Trust (Member No. 20019900637) is the largest woodland conservation charity in the UK.
Carbon Balanced Paper is a simple way for organisations to reduce the carbon impacts of their printed communications, reducing their carbon footprint and impacts on climate change. Carbon Balancing is where the carbon impacts of a product or service have been estimated and an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide is either prevented from being released into, or is absorbed from, the atmosphere.
