In today’s world, where environmental consciousness is on the rise, organisations are increasingly seeking ways to reduce their ecological footprint. One significant aspect of this effort lies in the materials they use for their marketing communications. At Pen Written Post, we recognise the pivotal role that recycled paper plays in sustainable communication practices.
That’s why we’ve taken the initiative to create a logo for approved companies to proudly display on their websites, indicating their commitment to using recycled materials for their marketing communications.
Our mission is clear: to revolutionise the way organisations approach direct mail marketing by advocating for the use of recycled materials. While direct mail remains a crucial tool for engagement, business and fundraising, it should not come at the cost of our precious natural resources. By utilising existing materials and opting for sustainable printing practices, we aim to mitigate the environmental impact of direct mail campaigns.
At Pen Written Post, we refuse to compromise on our environmental values. We do not offer gloss, laminations, or any other materials that harm the environment. Instead, we’re dedicated to providing sustainable printing services that don’t cost the Earth – because protecting the planet shouldn’t come with a premium price tag.
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond just using recycled paper. We’ve carefully selected our paper stocks and printing inks to align with our environmental values. All our paper stocks are sourced from a single distributor, with whom we partner to offset all carbon emissions associated with the manufacturing process. In fact, we’re offsetting more carbon than we produce, thanks to carbon-neutral initiatives.
When it comes to printing inks, we opt for vegetable-derived, cruelty-free alternatives. Not only do these inks produce better quality prints, but they also contribute to reducing print pollution rates and easing the recycling process.
Our printers and printing processes are also eco-friendly, thanks to cutting-edge print technology that minimises energy consumption. By using eco-friendly printing settings, we’re reducing our carbon footprint with every print run.
