Watch how to face the challenge of carbon footprinting print products?
Graeme Richardson-Locke speaks with Dominic Harris, Managing Director at Carbon Quota, and Nathan Swinson-Bullough, Managing Director at ImageCo.
In this FESPA Coffee Break, we look at the process of calculating the C02 emissions from a wide range of printed products. The importance determining C02 emissions is growing as businesses aim to reduce their Scope 3 emissions and reach Carbon Neutral status. Printers who reach these sustainable goals attract new customers and strengthen existing relationships.
FESPA Coffee Break webinars will return towards the end of the year for our third series. In the mean time watch all our webinars from series 1 and series 2 here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...
