Happy Earth Day!

Each year, on April 22nd, the global community celebrates Earth Day. The theme for Earth Day 2024 is Planet v Plastics, highlighting that 380 million tons of plastic are produced annually, while only 9% of the plastic ever produced has been recycled.

Environmental activists are calling for a 60% reduction in plastic by 2040; S&P is doing its part to assist in this. Our print-on-demand business is environmentally friendly, and we continue seeking sustainable options for our operations and sourcing. 

Here are a few ways we promote sustainability and help support the earth year-round!

• With on-demand printing and the Power of One, we promote zero waste!  Products are printed as customers order them, meaning we operate with zero print waste.
• No inventory means no excess!  All products are printed on-demand so no inventory is needed! Each product is sold before production, leaving no excess inventory to be destroyed or sent to the landfills.
• We only use aqueous and latex inks! 
• Our materials are Greenguard Certified and meet strict chemical emissions limits. Perfect for indoor spaces! 
• Our inks do not release harmful VOCs into the environment, our employees’ lungs, or our customers’ homes.
• We source our paper products from certified forests! Certification provides assurance of legal, sustainable forest practices, ensuring the forest company is operating legally and sustainably and in compliance with world-recognized standards for sustainable forest management.
• All printed products are shipped directly to our partners’ customers!  This will help us reduce our carbon footprint by alleviating the need for redundant shipping. 
• We promote virtual operations!   Through our API and dedication to e-commerce businesses, we reduce the time, investment, risk, and environmental impact typically associated with manufacturing consumer products.

As businesses and individuals, we invite you to join us in our mission to create a healthier planet for all!
