As the print industry experiences this period of continuous change, due to ongoing digitisation, escalating sustainability demands and evolving market needs, we are ensuring that our community – from small businesses to large printing enterprises – has access to the latest innovations and knowledge to optimise their operations and access emerging commercial opportunities.

Our Sustainability Spotlight online hub provides print businesses with guidance on how to operate in a more energy efficient and sustainable manner, work with stakeholders to reduce negative environmental impacts across supply chains and reduce their carbon footprint. Key focus areas include: printing with green materials and inks; supporting the circular economy; updates on regulations; energy reduction and greener textile printing. In addition, in 2024, we launched expert-authored guides on navigating sustainability legislation, titled: ‘Calculating Carbon’; ‘Sustainable Certification Scheme Guide’ and ‘Glossary of Terms’.

We also publish a series of Sustainability Spotlight videos, led by our Head of Associations & Technical Lead, Graeme Richardson- Locke, which highlight expert advice from FESPA partners. Videos include: Ali Khalili, CEO of Re-board, speaking about why decarbonisation is important to the industry; Marshall Atkinson from Atkinson Consulting outlining top sustainability myths in the decorated apparel industry; and consultant Steve Lister discussing the importance of creating a circular design process.
