Does the print industry need its own eco-standard?
When respondents to the EcoPrint Survey, were asked ‘what would you consider the main barriers and challenges to improved production and industry performance towards Net Zero’?
Their top answer was ‘lack of industry legislation/standards/enforcement' with over 1 in 2 respondents believing this to be the case.
This begs the question: ‘Does the print industry need its own eco-standard’?
A specific print and packaging eco-standard & label could help the print industry to improve its eco-credentials
Would a specific, print 'eco-standard' help?!
Join us on March 8 for a webinar which will feature a panel of experts who will tackle this question.
This topic may be weighed down with difficulty. Why? Of course, it's complex, it requires collaboration (in spite of competition) and this isn't easy despite there being such an obvious benefit for all of us.
But the rationale is to make it more clear for the industry to identify best practices. To improve transparency, reduce confusion, and augment understanding and overall sustainable performance.
This in turn makes it clearer for buyers. A united pan-regional print & packaging standard will help buyers select the right product with confidence and to have faith in what they buy is indeed what it is presented as being, and not greenwash! Additionally, this would also give both print technology and production companies a clear goal for which to aim.
Joining us in this webinar are experts from the world of print and of sustainability. We look forward to a lively, insightful and useful discussion.
