New Eco-Friendly Printing Service Combines Quality with Sustainability
Non-profit-Corporate Partnership Creates First Company to Deliver Full-Service Printing with Zero Net-Impact on Climate
(CSRwire) WASHINGTON, D.C.- GreenerPrinter.com, an environmentally friendly
printing service launched today, offers consumers the first online,
certified "green" printer to ship products "climate-neutral" - having a
zero net-impact on the earth's climate.
GreenerPrinter.com (www.GreenerPrinter.com) combines
environmental responsibility with high-quality, cost-effective products,
and is a partnership between GreenBiz.com, the premier online resource
center on business, the environment and the bottom line, and Tulip
Graphics, a full-service graphics production services company.
Through GreenerPrinter.com, consumers can obtain high-quality,
cost-competitive printing services featuring real-time print quotes,
online ordering and state-of-the-art recycled paper options. With a
standard product turnaround of three days, organizations can align
printing needs of any scope and size with environmental goals.
"GreenerPrinter.com provides access to environmentally responsible
printing services that are convenient and affordable, no matter where the
consumer is based," said Joel Makower, founder of GreenBiz.com. "Thanks
to great suppliers, including New Leaf Paper and Climate Neutral Network,
GreenerPrinter.com offers a unique combination of top-notch results with
minimal impact on the environment, both in production and shipping."
While many companies offer options including recycled papers and
environmentally friendly inks, the climate-neutral aspect of
GreenPrinter.com sets this service apart. The climate impact of shipping
finished print jobs is offset 100% through investments in WindBuilders and
Green Tags, both of which reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
"GreenerPrinter.com demonstrates the power of partnerships in increasing
the awareness of, and markets for, environmentally responsible products
and services," said Kevin Coyle, president of the National Environmental
Education and Training Foundation, which produces GreenBiz.com. "We feel
the most profitable enterprises of the future will be those that embrace
environmental forces in their business strategies."
With every print job, consumers can receive an Environmental Benefits
Statement, detailing the environmental savings of printing as a result of
exclusively using New Leaf Paper. On average, an order of 1,000 posters
or 5,000 sell sheets can save approximately 1 tree, 68 pounds of solid
waste, 309 gallons of water, and additional natural resources.
All purchases made through GreenerPrinter.com also result in a financial
contribution that supports GreenBiz.com, part of the Green Business
Network, and its educational mission to provide businesses with the tools
to be environmentally responsible while also helping improve the bottom
line.
GreenBiz.com is a project of the National Environmental Education
and Training Foundation. A non- profit, non-partisan organization,
GreenBiz.com is dedicated to helping businesses become more
environmentally responsible while maintaining profitable business
practices. Founded in 2000 GreenBiz.com's principal mission is to share
