Paper communications – myths and facts
Our planet is precious. Collectively it’s the responsibility of everyone to do their best to protect it.
As marketers we use different media channels, all of which have their own carbon footprint. So how do you know the impact of your comms on the environment?
Well, when it comes to sustainability of print and paper it’s important to separate the myths from the facts.
Two Sides, experts in print and paper sustainability provide extensive research to dispel common environmental myths. They educate the industry on why print and paper communications such as direct mail, can be attractive, practical and sustainable.
Did you know for example that the European recycling rate is 72%? This almost reaches the maximum recycling rate of 78%.* The preservation of European forests is also top of the agenda. Between 2005 to 2020 European forests grew by an area bigger than Switzerland, amounting to over 1,500 football pitches a day**.
