Sustainable Printing Co Sustainability

At Sustainable Printing Co, we’re all about providing high quality printing that draws attention to your brand while conserving the environment. Using 100% recycled papers and eco-friendly inks, we have worked hard to make eco friendly printing as cost effective as the non sustainable alternatives.

Share The Love

We work efficiently and sustainably by working collectively with our customers. We identify like-minded customers who have similar print requirements and we help them by producing their jobs together on the same printing presses. This in turn reduces wastage and has positive implications for our customers – more cost effective and faster turnaround printing. It’s a win-win for you and the environment.

Vegetable Based Inks

Vegetable based inks are used in our offset printing and are the eco-friendlier alternative to petroleum based inks. Our soy and vegetable products are used in our inks for their oils, which act as the vehicle for the ink pigments. Made from the extracts of corn, walnut, coconut, linseed, canola and soy bean, the oils and extracts are often blended in order to utilise the key characteristics of each oil for best printing results. Vegetable based inks are a renewable resource and do not require harmful solvents/chemicals for cleaning the printing presses. Vegetable based inks are easier to de-ink as opposed to petroleum-based inks in the recycling process. Soy and vegetable-based inks are widely recognized as the environmentally friendly choice. At Sustainable Printing Co, we also implement a recycle and reuse program in our factory that see’s 100% of all paper offcuts and printing plate either reused or recycled. This is another initiative our print staff drive to steer materials away from landfill and promote a circular business/economy where waste is reused and recycled. We also reuse unused inks for future jobs. More information at www.sustainableprintingco.com.au
