Really insightful article, Sarah! We've been pushing our suppliers toward FSC certification for the past two years and the difference in client perception has been remarkable. The closed-loop recycling point is especially relevant — we're currently piloting a program with our packaging supplier and the results are promising.
Thanks Thomas! The closed-loop pilot programs we've seen are showing 20–30% waste reduction in the first year. Would love to hear how your program progresses — feel free to reach out directly.
Great read. One thing I'd add is that vegetable-based inks can sometimes affect drying times on certain coated stocks. Has Hoang Vuong run into this issue and how do you handle it in production scheduling?
We switched to a sustainable print partner last year and honestly the quality has only improved. The narrative that eco-friendly means lower quality is completely outdated. Articles like this help shift that perception.
