Overnight Prints Keeps it Green…You Can, too

Overnight Prints Keeps it Green. You Can Too.

We here at Overnight Prints pride ourselves on not only our print quality and on-time delivery, but also our unparalleled devotion to environmentally safe practices. Besides using eco-friendly paper, Overnight Prints is also the only major online printing company that uses waterless printing presses, which dramatically cut down on waste and toxins. Being as how sustainability is a particular concern for us here at OvernightPrints.com, I thought I’d share a few, very feasible tips on how to show your own appreciation for our environment (aside from hugging trees, of course).

  • Recycle. Most of us recycle our  cans and glass bottles, but many other materials in our homes are  recyclable, including paper, and almost all types of plastic. To  find out whether the plastic can be recycled, look for the plastic  identification code on the bottom or the side.
  • Conserve water. The majority of  water waste in a household results from improper watering of lawns.  Make sure you’re watering the grass and not the sidewalk, and get a  rain barrel to reserve rainwater.
  • Plant a tree! You can help reduce  greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce energy costs for your home  (more trees = less energy wasted for air conditioning). Not only  will you help make your urban dwelling more beautiful and green, but  you’ll be creating a natural habitat for other creatures.
  • Ride your bike or use public  transportation.  
  • Switch your lightbulbs to CFLs and  purchase energy-efficient appliances.  
  • Shop at your local Farmer’s Market  and support your local economy. 
  • Repurpose everything you possibly  can. Use discarded paper as scrap paper and order recycled promotional pieces  from your favorite recycle-friendly online printer.

    Thank you for posting this! My organization and our clients are deeply committed to sustainable practices, so it’s important to us that our brochures, business cards, and other printed material are produced in earth-friendly ways. I’d love to know more about your “eco-friendly paper” and waterless printing presses!
