Carbon neutrality means balancing the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as part of your everyday emissions with the amount removed from the atmosphere.

theprintspace uses this within all aspects of their business operations to minimise energy usage and use renewables where possible, offsetting their remaining emissions as a result of their services.

Carbon offsetting is the process of compensating for greenhouse gas emissions by funding projects that remove or prevent the release of an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) or other greenhouse gases elsewhere.

theprintspace achieves it’s carbon neutrality through using green couriers such as DHL GoGreen and Green Courier where available, only using renewable energy suppliers including Ecotricity and Stadtwerke Düsseldorf and using a mixture of sustainably sourced, recyclable and biodegradable packaging for it’s deliveries.

They then calculate any unavoidable emissions, offsetting them by investing in renewable energy projects in line with WWF guidance.

theprintspace sources it’s Giclée paper from manufacturers that only use resources from sustainable forest management areas. This programme ensures the preservation and protection of biodiversity, the renewal of the forests habitats and decreasing of the impacts of exploitation of forest areas for future generations. The paper made at their mills is certified for the traceability of the wood fibres from an origin of non-threatened forests.
