Print Yorkshire recognises that the printing industry has already made great strides towards becoming a more sustainable industry. We intend to do more to raise awareness and encourage printers to build on current successes by:
-
Working with appropriate parties to raise awareness of the printer’s obligations in the environmental areas and to assist printers in identifying the opportunities in the marketing and cost saving areas.
-
Researching and publishing, in collaboration wherever possible, a printer’s guide to environmental obligations and best practice.
-
Identifying appropriate tools to allow printers to assess their current performance and set reasonable targets for improvement.
-
Promoting the industry’s Climate Change Levy rebate Scheme in order that printers are both encouraged to conserve energy and also receive financial reward should they do so.
-
Work with the Yorkshire Forward sustainable development team and other local agencies to identify and bring forward other programmes for printers to improve their environmental performance.
-
Work with the BPIF to encourage the use of the Carbon Footprint Calculator.
-
Work with print buyers to identify and highlight the environmental benefits of print and focus on the needs of print buyers.
