How the CO₂ offset works for your print products
As a responsible printer, we have decided to give our customers in cooperation with us the opportunity to offset their CO₂ footprint when creating paper products. In this way, together we want to make our contribution to more sustainability in the printing industry. For the CO₂ offset, we work together with the renowned organisation ClimatePartner.
ClimatePartner has determined the CO₂ footprints of our paper print products in an elaborate process. In the next step, we chose two climate protection projects from ClimatePartner that reduce CO₂ emissions through reforestation and access to clean drinking water, among other things. The selected ClimatePartner climate protection projects are proven to save CO₂. For example, the projects are monitored by TÜV and other independent auditing organisations.
So that you and your customers can clearly see that a product is climate-friendly, each product is given a unique order-related ID. This ID allows you to transparently track all information about the supported project and the print job on the ClimatePartner website.
As a customer, it is very easy to print in a climate-friendly way on our website. To do so, select the option to offset CO₂ in the shopping basket. In the background, ClimatePartner calculates the CO₂ footprint and the price for offsetting it. The small surcharge flows directly into the climate protection projects. In this way, you support the reforestation projects that are important for the world's CO₂ budget with every offset.
You receive a certificate as proof of the CO₂ offset. Optionally, you can download the logo with the certificate ID and add it to your products. Your paper product can then be labelled as "sustainable".
Certified climate protection combined with additional commitment: one tree for every tonne of CO₂ reduced
This combined project finances a certified climate protection project and supports tree planting in Germany. We plant one tree in Germany for every tonne of CO₂ saved through the climate protection project. This promotes the conversion of monocultures into more resilient mixed forests. The tree plantations in Germany are currently being combined with a certified wind energy project in Mauritania. The wind turbines generate renewable energy, which is fed into the electricity grid and reduces the need for fossil fuels.
Our combined project combines verified emission reductions through a certified climate protection project with additional commitment. In Europe, tree species such as spruce suffer from drought and are susceptible to pest infestation and storms. Our further commitment supports reforestation and the conversion to more resilient mixed forests. We plant trees with experienced organisations and enable customers to participate in planting campaigns. The climate protection project is registered with international standards.
