Printers at the Forefront of Environmental Leadership

The largest portion of a printer’s environmental footprint continues to be the paper they use[1], which is why printers have a particular responsibility to support the market for papers that have maximized recycled content and FSC certified virgin fibre. Printers can also show their leadership by supporting agricultural residue paper trials. First, though, printers need their own cutting edge paper policy.

Canopy has ten years of expertise helping companies develop strong environmental policies. Printers’ benefit by being able to use the Ancient Forest Friendly logo on Ancient Forest Friendly paper.

Canopy’s signatory green printers provide the inspiration. Several of our signatories below have won Environmental Print Action Awards in Canada for years. And in 2010, Transcontinental Inc, Webcom, Hemlock and St. Joseph Communications were all recipients.
