Our conscience is green

Our conscience is green

At Copykrea, we believe that sustainability and protecting the planet can’t just be catchy slogans.

Our goal is to find a balance that allows us to move forward without harming the environment. That’s why every decision we make – from the type of paper we use to the printing equipment – is aimed at reducing our environmental impact without compromising the quality we offer. So what do we do? Whatever we can.

First things first: since paper is the foundation of any print shop, we’ve decided to use only paper certified by FSC and PEFC. This means the paper comes from responsibly managed forests and supports a commitment to environmental protection.

For all our 80 g and 100 g prints, we use Navigator paper. Not just because it’s a premium quality paper certified by FSC and Ecolabel, but because the company is committed to CO₂ neutrality and is a pioneer in large-scale carbon offsetting projects. What does that mean? That they work to ensure the amount of CO₂ they produce equals the amount they eliminate. Experts say that if every company followed this model, global warming could be limited to 1.5°C.

That’s why, even though Navigator already reduced its CO₂ emissions by 30% in 2021 and sources 70% of its energy from renewables, they’ve set a goal to cut emissions by 86% and ensure that 100% of the energy used in paper production comes from renewable sources by 2035.

For printing on cardstock or satin paper, we use Color Copy paper, a brand owned by Mondi. The company has a strong commitment to zero deforestation, sustainable forest management, and responsible sourcing, holding both FSC and PEFC certifications. They also have an action plan (MAP2030) focused on three key areas: circular solutions, climate action, and team empowerment and inclusion.

For specialty finishes like coated or laid paper, we rely on Novatech and Conqueror. Both brands are committed to cleaner, more efficient production with an emphasis on reducing emissions and using certified raw materials.

When it comes to adhesive paper, we trust UPM Raflatac, a leading brand in sustainable labeling solutions. Their “Label Life” strategy provides accurate data on the environmental impact of each product, helping to promote responsible decision-making.

At Copykrea, we believe printing can be done well and consciously. That’s why we’re committed to responsible printing using inkjet and laser technology, as well as sustainable inks. And any paper that can’t be used for technical reasons in our production center is properly recycled to ensure environmentally responsible waste management. Indifference is not an option when it comes to the planet.
