At ANZ Printing, we believe sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a responsibility. As part of the printing industry, we’re committed to reducing our environmental impact and helping build a better future.
What Is Sustainable Printing?
Sustainable printing means using methods and materials that are better for the environment. This includes using recycled paper, energy-efficient machines, and eco-friendly inks. The goal is to reduce waste, save energy, and still deliver high-quality print results.
Why It Matters
Sustainability is essential for both the planet and business. It helps reduce costs, improves efficiency, and meets the growing expectations of customers who care about the environment.
How ANZ Printing Supports Sustainability
1. Recycled Paper
We use high-quality recycled paper that:
- Has a smooth surface for clear, sharp prints
- Offers high brightness for better readability
- Has good opacity to prevent ink from showing through
- Absorbs ink well to avoid smudging
Our recycled paper is made from long fibres, making it more durable and easier to recycle. We use options like:
- Evercare 100% Recycled – great for general printing, invitations, business cards, and tags.
- Kraft Paper – strong, natural-looking, and perfect for packaging, postcards, and loyalty cards.
2. Eco-Friendly Inks
We use vegetable-based inks made from natural oils like soy, linseed, and coconut. These inks:
- Are easier to recycle
- Don’t need harsh chemicals for cleaning
- Produce vibrant, high-quality colours
3. Energy-Efficient Technology
Our printing equipment uses LED-UV technology, which:
- Consumes less energy
- Doesn’t need drying powders or harmful chemicals
- Reduces greenhouse gas emissions
4. Smart Paper Use
We encourage double-sided printing to cut paper use in half. This simple step saves trees, reduces waste, and lowers costs.
5. Recycling and Waste Reduction
We recycle paper, ink cartridges, and other materials. We also use print-on-demand and smart layout designs to reduce leftover waste.
6. Upcycling
We turn leftover materials like scrap paper and used cartridges into useful products such as notebooks and packaging. This creative reuse helps reduce landfill waste and supports a circular economy.
7. Sustainable Packaging
We choose packaging that’s recyclable, biodegradable, or compostable. We also design packaging to use fewer materials and reduce environmental impact during shipping.
