Carbon Capture
Join the Carbon Capture Scheme to show your commitment to sustainable print.
Carbon Capture is a low cost, environmental initiative that creates new native woodland in the UK.
This unique scheme is run by Woodland Trust with Premier Paper, one of our main paper suppliers. It offers you the opportunity to mitigate the CO2 emissions created by the production, storage and distribution of the paper used on the items we print for your, by funding tree planting throughout the UK.
How does the Carbon Capture Scheme work?
By opting into the Carbon Capture Scheme, each time we purchase paper from Premier Paper for the print we carry out for you, you will be charged a small fee based upon the amount of CO2 emitted as a result of the paper used. It’s calculated at £8.50 per tonne which works out at just 2p per ream of A4 80gsm.
100% of the contribution you make is passed on to the Woodland Trust to fund the planting of trees in certified Woodland Carbon sites across the UK. There are no deductions for administration or the like.
Why are trees important to our environment?
Trees can absorb carbon that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, as well as helping to improve air and water quality, preventing soil erosion and providing a sustainable source of low-carbon fuel.
The planting of trees creates more areas of natural habitat and much-needed space for nature and wildlife and also establishes new woodlands for generations of people to enjoy.
What are the benefits of the Scheme?
Joining the Carbon Capture Scheme will help you raise your environmental and sustainability credentials. It’s a tangible, long lasting demonstration of your commitment and responsible approach to the environment which you can use within marketing and corporate messages as well as tenders.
In addition...
– You will receive a personalised Woodland Carbon logo which can be used on your marketing literature, web communications and print jobs (where Carbon Capture paper has been used) and enhance your brand.
– We will send you a certificate confirming the amount of CO2 captured and the area of new native woodland that has been planted on a quarterly, six monthly or annual basis.
– You’ll be invited to attend an annual tree planting day. It’s a great way to get your employees to get involved, connect with nature and see first hand the benefits of this initiative.
